PREFACE. 


The  preparation  of  these  histories,  at  tlie  instance  of  the 
Volta  Bureau,  for  publication  in  commemoration  of  the 
four  himdredth  anniversary  of  the  discovery  of  America, 
has  evinced  such  generous  and  gratifying  good-will  that 
this  Bureau  desires  here  to  record  its  warm  acknowledg- 
ments. 

To  the  superintendents,  principals,  teachers,  editors,

INTRODUCTION. 


In  this  commemoration  year  it  is  interesting  to  recall 
the  fact  that  the  discovery  of  the  possibility  of  education 
for  the  (leaf  was  almost  contemporaneous  with  the  dis- 
covery of  America.  The  first  instance  in  history  of  a 
doaf-mute  who  learned  to  read  and  write  was  that  recorded 
by  Rodolphus  Agricola  (Roelof  Huisman),  who  lived  from 
1443  to  1485.*  Who  this  deaf-mute  was,  who  his  teacher, 
and  how  he  was  taught,  we  are  not  told.  Juan  Luis 
Vives  {I)e  Anima,  1538)  marvelled  at  Agricola's  story 
for  It  seemed  to  him  an  impossibility  that  one  deprived  of' 
the  sense  of  instruction,  as  Aristotle  called  the  sense  of 
hearing,  should  be  taught  to  road  and  write. 

But  while  Vives,  in  deference  to  the  authority  of  Aris- 
totle, who  at  that  time  was  regarded  as  infallible,  hesitated 
to  accept  Agricola's  testimony,  the  brilliant  Girolamo 
Cardano,  of  Milan  (1501-1576).  following  the  guidance 
of  his  own  reason  in  preference  even  to  the  authority  of 
"the  Master  of  those  who  know,"  was  led  to  the  truth 
Cardano  not  only  declared  that  the  instruction  of  deaf-mutes 
was  possible,  though  difficult,  but  also  stated  clearly  and 
accurately  the  principle  on  which  it  depends  ;  namely,  that 
ideas  can  be  associated  directly  with  written  words  without 
the  intervention  of  sound,  and  so  "  the  deaf-mute  can  hear 
by  reading  and  speak  by  writing."  t   While  we  teachers  and

t  As  Cardano's  books  are  rare,  and  his  precise  words  are  not  quoted  in 
any  American  work  relating  to  the  deaf,  it  seems  worth  while  t<-  -ive  the 
most  important  passages  here.  They  are  taken  from  a  copy  of  his  Opera 
(London,  1663)  in  the  Library  of  Harvard  University  :

any  continent — the  illimitable  world  of  the  mind. 

The  Heed  sown  by  Cardano  was  slow  in  springing  up 
and  bearing  fruit.  In  the  great  intellectual  ju'ogress  of 
the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries  the  deaf  had  hut 
a  scanty  share.  A  few  fortunate  individuals  among  them, 
singly  or  in  groups  of  two  or  three,  were  taught  by  Ponce,

by  Cardano  nearly  four  centuries  ago,  it  is  only  within 
the  last  century  and  a  half  that  the  human  conscience  has 
been  aroused  to  the  duty  of  putting  the  theory  into  prac- 
tice for  the  benefit  of  the  deaf  generally.  The  first  great 
impulse  in  this  direction  was  given  by  the  benevolent  and 
disinterested  Abbe  de  TEpee,  whose  school  for  the  deaf, 
established  at  Paris  about  17G0,  speedily  became  famous 
throughout  Europe.  At  nearly  the  same  time,  independ- 
ently of  De  I'Epee  and  of  each  other,  schools  were  begun

removed  to  Leipsic. 

As  the  successful  results  of  the  instruction  given  in 
these  schools  became  known,  similar  schools  were  estab- 
lished in  other  cities  and  countries,  and  they  have  con- 
tinued to  increase  in  number  to  the  present  time.  Their 
growth  and  progress  have  been  greatest  during  the  past

in  the  Quatrieme  Circulaire  of  the  Paris  Institution,  there 
were  134  sciiools  for  the  deaf  in  the  world.  A  list  pub-

butions to  the  Boston  papers,  especially  the  Neio  England 
Palladlam,  and  by  personal  correspondence  with  influen- 
tial men,  to  arouse  the  interest  and  sympathy  of  the  pub- 
lic. In  the  year  1803,  with  the  aid  of  the  clergy  of  Mas- 
sachusetts, he  gathered  returns  of  the  numbers  of  the  deaf 
in  that  State,  finding  about  seventy,  and  estimating  that 
there  were  five  hundred  in  the  United  States. 

The  first  effort  to  give  instruction  to  the  deaf  in  America 
was  made  by  the  Rev.  John  Stanford,  in  New  York,  about 
the  year  1810.  It  is  described  in  the  History  of  the  New 
York  Institution  in  the  present  volume.  The  unsuccess- 
ful attempts  made  two  years  later  by  John  Braidwood,  Jr., 
a  grandson  of  the  founder  of  the  Edinburgh  school,  to 
establish  schools  in  Virginia  and  in  New  York  are  de- 
scribed in  the  histories  of  the  Virginia  and  New  York  In- 
stitutions. Braidwood  also  attempted  to  found  a  school 
in  Baltimore,  Maryland,  but  failed  there  for  the  same  rea- 
son as  in  Virginia  and  New  York. 

These  earlier  efforts  in  behalf  of  the  deaf  in  America, 
though  they  seem  to  have  come  to  nought,  are  of  great 
interest,  for  they  show  that  the  idea  of  instruction  was  in 
the  air,  and  that  the  fulness  of  time  for  the  work  to  begin 
was  at  hand.  And  though  it  may  now  be  impossible  to 
trace  any  direct  connection  between  these  efforts  and  the 
establishment  of  the  permanent  schools  a  little  later* 
(except  that  a  letter  of  Francis  Green's,  written  in  1781 
and  printed  twenty-four  years  afterwards  in  the  Medical 
Repository,  was  read  at  the  first  public  meeting  in  behalf 
of  the  education  ol  the  deaf  in  New  York,  and  that  Mr. 


*  Indeed,  the  immediate  effect  of  Braidwood's  attempts  was  to  hinder 
and  delay  the  opening  of  the  first  permanent  school ;  for  the  members  of 
his  family  in  Great  Britain,  who  controlled  the  monopoly  of  deaf-mute 
instruction  there,  wishing  to  create  a  similar  monopoly  in  America,  plnced 
obstacles  in  the  way  of  Dr,  Gallandct  when  he  sought  to  acquire  the  art 
of  instruction  in  the  mother  country.

VoliTA  BuREAtr, 
Washington.  D.  C,  Deremher  22,  18!)2. 

A  desire  Imviiin  been  expressed  in  different  quarters  tlmt  the  Volta 
Bureau  should  collect,  and  issue  in  one  or  more  volumes,  for  the  occasion 
of  the  World's  (lolumbian  Exposition,  the  histories  of  all  schools  and  in- 
stitutions for  the  education  of  the  deaf  in  America,  the  Volta  Bureau  is 
disposed  to  carry  out  this  idea,  provided  it  can  be  assured  of  the  hearty 
co-operation  of  superintendents  and  principals. 

With  a  view  to  have  such  histcjries  serve  as  a  correct  index  of  present 
conditions  and  facilities,  it  is  desired  that  each  school  and  institution 
prepare  and  print  its  own  history  according  to  a  somewhat  uniform  plan 
as  to  character  of  contents  and  size  of  publication.  The  latter  should 
conform,  as  nearly  as  can  be,  to  the  dimensions  of  the  pages  of  the  iXmeri- 
caa  Annals  of  the  Deaf  (i1  x  S'J  inches;  jirinted  matter,  includin},'  run- 
ning title,  7  X  ;i'|  inches).  Of  these  separate  histories  this  Bureau  should 
be  furnished  with  two  th(msand  copies  by  the  first  of  February  next. 

Schools  and  institutions  not  having  printing  facilities  of  their  own 
coulu  have  the  printing  done  elsewhere,  and  scliools  which  have  no  means 
whatever  available  to  have  the  jn-inting  done  at  their  own  expense  can 
send  the  MS.  of  the  history  of  their  school  to  the  Volta  Bureau,  which, 
in  such  exceptional  cases,  will  itself  attend  to  the  printing. 

Among  other  things,  it  is  desirable— 

1.  That  each  history  embrace,  if  possible,  engravings  and  plans  of  the 
school  or  institution,  as  well  as  portraits  of  its  present  superintendent 
and  principal.  If  these  are  not  available  for  publication,  single  drawings 
and  photographs  of  the  afoi- 'lamed  should  be  sent  for  preservation  in 
the  archives  of  this  Bureau. 

2.  A  complete  list  of  its  teachers  and  employees  and  of  its  directors  or 
board  of  managers  on  the  first  of  January,  1893. 

3.  A  chronological  list  of  all  its  superintendents  or  principals. 

4.  A  chronological  list  of  all  its  journals  and  other  publications. 

5.  A  list  and  brief  statement  of  purpose  of  all  societies  of  the  deaf  in 
the  institution  or  locality,  with  names  of  officers. 

6.  A  brief  mention  of  any  preceding  schools  or  institutions  no  longer 
existing  in  the  locality  or  known  to  have  existed  within  the  State  or  Ter- 
ritory. 

7.  Tabulated  statistics  of  all  kinds. 

Each  institution  or  school  supplying  the  Bureau  with  material  for  this 
work  will  receive  a  complimentary  copy  of  the  same.  The  r'?main<li'r  of 
the  edition,  after  supplying,  at  cost,  teachers  and  individuals  interested 
in  the  education  of  the  deaf  who  may  subscril)e  for  the  work,  will  be  ju- 
diciously distributed  among  the  libraries  of  all  nations  as  a  work  of  refer- 
ence. 

Please  inform  this  Bureau  if  you  will  co-operate  in  carrying  out  the 
proposed  plan  to  the  extent  of  supplying  the  requisite  history  of  your 
school  or  institution,  either  in  print  as  indicated,  or  in  manuscript,  pre- 
pared by  yourself  or  by  some  person  designated  by  you.  And,  further- 
more, kindly  state  how  many,  if  any,  extra  copies  of  the  work  you  wish 
to  secure  for  your  teachers  and  othei-3  by  subscription.

Superintendent. 
On  tlie  fith   of  January,  1893,  a  sufficient  number  of 
principals  and  superintendents  having  signified  their  ap- 
proval of  tlie  plan  and  promised  their  co-operation  the 
Avork  was  fully  decided  upon.     It  has  been  carried 'for- 
ward as  rapidly  as  possible  on  the  general  plan  suggested 
in  the  circular,  with   tlie   supplementary  addition   of  the 
histories  of  several  organizations  not  schools,  designed  to 
promote  the  education  of  the  deaf,  a  list  of  American  peri- 
odicals published  for  the  benefit   of  the  deaf,  an  alpha- 
betical   list,    derived   mostly   from  the  school    histories 
of  the  names  and  addresses  of  American  instructors  of  the 
deaf,  and  a  list  of  the  publications  of  the  Volta  Bureau 
The  histories  of   the  American,  New  York.  Pennsylva- 
ma,  Kentucky,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Tennessee,  Illinois,  South 
Carolina,  Missouri,   Wisconsin,   Michigan,   Iowa,   Texas, 
Co  umbia,  Alabama,  California,  Kansas,  Minnesota,  Clarke 
Arkansas,  Maryland,  Nebraska,  St.   Joseph's,  West  Vir- 
ginia, Colorado,  Cliicago,  Western  Pennsylvania,  Western 
New  York,  New  England  Industrial,  South  Dakota,  Penn- 
sylvania Oral,  New  Jersey,  Utah,  Texas  Colored,  Montreal 
Catholic    (Male   and    Female),    Ontario    and    Manitoba 
schoo  s  were  printed  by  the  respective  schools-most  of 
them  by  their  own  pupils ;  those  of  the  otiier  schools,  which 
lacked  the  necessary  means  or  facilities,  have  been  printed 
by  the   Volta   Bureau.     The  History  of   the  Wisconsni 
System  of  Public  Day-Schools  was   printed  by  the  Wis 
consin  Phonological  Institute.     No  doubt  greater  uniform- 
ity and  elegance  of  appearance,  and,  by  reason  of  contin- 
uous paging,  greater  convenience  of  reference  would  have 
been  attained  if  all  the  histories  had  been  printed  at  one 
press;  but  ni   that  case  the   collection  would  have  been 
d  prived  o   the  interest  and  value  which  now  attaches  to 
a  large  part  of  it  as  the  handiwork  of  the  pupils.

Introduction. 


The  histories  were  nearly  all  prepared  by  the  heads  of 
the  schools,  or  by  persons  designated  by  them.  In  some 
cases  where  the  writers  had  been  the  principal  actors  in 
the  events  described,  and  their  modesty  deterred  them 
from  recording  fully  their  own  achievements,  we  must 
read  between  the  lines  in  order  to  give  credit  where  it  is 
justly  due. 

It  was  gratifying  to  the  editor  to  find  that  twelve  of  the 
histories  were  written  wholly  or  partly  by  persons  whom 
he  had  formerly  had  the  pleasure  of  teaching  in  the  Na- 
tional Deaf-Mute  College.  Five  were  written  by  grad- 
uates of  other  American  schools  for  the  deaf,  so  that,  in- 
tellectually as  well  as  mechanically,  the  histories  represent 
to  a  considerable  extent  the  work  of  the  deaf  themselves. 

The  portraits  of  the  heads  of  schools  were  included  with 
the  histories,  at  the  urgent  request  of  the  Volta  Bureau. 

If  the  time  allowed  for  preparation  had  been  longer, 
many  of  the  histories  could  have  been  made  more  com- 
plete, and  greater  unity  and  harmony  in  the  mode  of  treat- 
ment could  have  been  secured ;  but  it  is  hoped  that  the 
work,  as  it  is,  fully  accomplishes  the  purpose  aimed  at  by 
the  Volta  Bureau,  which  was  to  give  a  clear  and  truthful 
presentation  of  the  American  Schools  for  the  Deaf  as  they 
exist  at  the  present  time,  and  to  place  on  record  in  a  per- 
manent form  the  most  important  events  of  their  past  his- 
tory.

THE 

AMERICAN  ASYLUM 

At  Hartford, 

FOIt  THE 

KDUCATION  AND  INSTKUCTION  OF  THE  DEAF  AND  DUMB. 


In  the  year  1807  Alice,  the  youngest  daughter  of  Mason 
F.  Cogswell,  M.D.,  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  a  man  eminent  in  his 
profession  and  in  philanthropic  works,  became  deaf  through 
scarlet  fever.  Anxious  for  the  education  of  this  beloved 
child.  Dr.  Cogswell  appealed  to  the  General  Association  of 
the  Congregational  Clergymen  of  Connecticut  to  aid  him  in 
ascertaining  the  number  of  persons  in  the  State  afflicted  in 
like  manner,  and  at  a  meeting  of  the  association,  held  at 
Sharon,  in  June,  1812,  it  was  reported  by  a  committee 
previously  appointed  for  the  purpose,  that  there  were  eighty- 
foiir  deaf  and  dumb  persons  within  the  limits  of  the  State. 
If  a  like  proportion  of  deaf-dumbness  existed  in  other  States 
there  were  probably  four  hundred  such  persons  in  New  Eng. 
land,  and  in  all  the  United  States  about  two  thousand.  Surely 
enough  of  these  must  be  of  school  age  to  sustain  a  good 
school  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic. 

Bringing  these  facts  to  the  attention  of  his  wealthy  and  in> 
fluential  friends,  Dr.  Cogswell  succeeded  in  interesting  them 
in  the  project  of  establishing  a  school  for  their  education. 

On  the  13th  ot  April,  1815,  the  following  gentlemen  met 
by  invitation  at  his  house,  viz. :  "  Ward  Woodbridge,  Esq., 
Daniel  Wadsworth,  Esq.,  Henry  Hudson,  Esq.,  Hon.  Nathan- 
iel Terry,  John  Caldwell,  Esq.,  Daniel  Buck,  Esq.,  Joseph 
Battell,  Esq.  (of  Norfolk),  Rev.  Nathan  Strong,  D.D.,  and 
Rev.  Thos.  H.  Gallaudet."  After  prayer  by  Dr.  Strong  in- 
voking the  Divine  blessing  upon  their  deliberation8,°and 
after  a  full  discussion  of  the  practicability  of  sending  some 
suitable  person  to  Europe  to  study  the  art  of  instructing  the

deaf  and  dnmb,  Dr.  Cogswell  and  Mr.  Woodbridge  were  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  ascertain  the  name  of  some  suitable 
person,  who  would  consent  to  go,  and  to  obtain  subscrip- 
tions to  defray  his  expenses.  In  one  day  Mr.  Woodbridge, 
who  was  one  of  the  leading  business  men  of  Hartford,  raised 
sufficient  funds  for  the  purpose.  The  Rev.  Thos.  H.  Gallau- 
det,  a  graduate  of  Yale  College  and  of  Andover  Theological 
Serninary,  was  solicited  to  make  the  journey  and  fit  himself 
to  take  up  the  new  enterprise.  On  the  15th  of  April,  1815, 
he  signified  to  the  committee  his  willijigness  to  do  so,  and  on 
the  25th  day  of  May  he  sailed  for  Europe.     It  is  not  neces-

While  Mr.  Gallaudet  was  abroad,  friends  at  home  were 
active  in  forwarding  the  project.  At  the  session  of  tlie  Gen- 
eral Assemhly  of  Connecticut,  held  at  Hartfc  d,  in  May, 
1816,  an  act  of  incorporation  was  passed  in  accordance  with 
the  petition  of  sixty-three  citizens  of  Hartford,  who,  with 
their  associates,  were  by  it  "  formed  into,  constituted,  and  . 
made  a  body  politic  and  corporate  by  the  name  of  the  Con- 
necticut Asylum  for  the  Education  and  Instruction  of  Deaf 
and  Dumb  Persons,  with  the  rights  and  powers  usually 
granted  to  incorporations  for  educational  purposes." 


Connecticut  Asylum,  1817. 

Under  this  charter  the  school  was  opened  at  Hartford, 
April  15,  1817,  with  seven  pupils,  increasing  within  a  year  to 
thirty-three,  the  first  permanent  school  for  the  education  of 
deaf-mutes  in  America. 

In  other  countries,  schools  of  this  class  had  been  sustained 
entirely  by  private  charity,  and  had  had  only  transient  means 
of  support.  The  founders  of  the  school  at  Hartford,  while 
availing  themselves  of  private  charity  to  put  it  in  operation,

and  demonstrate  the  need  of  it,  and  its  ability  to  meet  that 
need,  at  once  set  to  work  to  ])ut  it  on  a  reliable  basis  of  sup- 
port. In  October,  1816,  the  Legislature  of  Connecticut  was 
appealed  to  for  aid  and  made  an  appropriation  of  five  thousand 
dollars.  In  1819,  the  Congress  of  the  United  States,  under  a 
motion  made  %y  Henry  Clay,  gave  to  the  school  twenty-three 
thousand  acres  of  public  land,  and  with  the  proceeds  of  the 
sale  of  this  land  grounds  were  secured,  suitable  buildings 
erected,  and  a  permanent  fund  provided.  In  1819,  Massa- 
chusetts provided  by  legislative  appropriation  for  the  education

of  twenty  indigent  pujiils  here.  In  1825,  New  Hampshire 
and  Vermont  adopted  the  same  policy  of  educating  their 
deaf-mute  children  here  at  the  expense  of  the  State.  Other 
States  soon  followed  this  good  example.  Thus,  through  the 
effort?  of  the  founders  of  this  school  the  humane,  just,  and 
wise  policy  of  educating  deaf-mutes  at  the  public  expense  was 
firmly  established  in  this  country,  and  has  been  adopted  by 
almost  every  State  in  the  Union.  In  some  of  the  Western 
States  means  for  the  education  of  deaf-mutes  are  secured  by 
constitutional  provision.     This  has  put  the  schools  for  deaf-

inutes  in  the  United  States  on  a  better  basip,  financially,  than 
those  in  any  other  part  of  the  world. 

An  unfortunate  impression  has  prevailed  that  the  institu- 
tion is  provided  with  abundant  funds  for  carrying  on  its 
work.  Such  is  not  the  case.  Since  the  grant  made  by  Con- 
gress in  1819,  gifts  and  bequests  have  been  very  few  and 
scanty.  By  far  the  largest  was  that  of  the  late  Morris 
Mattson,  JV[.D.,of]New  York,  who  became  interested  in  the 
school  through  his  deaf-mute  sister's  connection  with  it,  and 
made  it  his  residuary  legatee.  To  the  disa"! vantage  of  the 
institution  in  its  present  needs,  his  example  has  not  been 
followed. 


STANDARD  FOR  TEACHERS. 

The  first  Principal  of  this  school,  the  liev.  Thomas  H. 
Gallaudet,  was  a  man  of  liberal  education,  broad  culture,  and 
rare  tact  and  pantomimi  skill.  Realizing  the  difficulties 
of  deaf-mute  education  and  the  requirements  for  success  in 
it,  he  called  about  him,  as  assistant  teachers,  men  of  similar 
qualifications  and  fit  to  be  his  co-laborers,  in  working  out  by 
correction,  revision,  and  expansion  of  the  French  system  a 
new,  American  system  of  instruction.  Thanks  to  the  wise 
conservatism  of  its  managers,  the  standard  of  qualifications 
for  a  teacher  of  deaf-mutes  at  the  outset  of  the  work  in  this 
country  has  been  steadily  maintained  here,  and  to  it  may  be 
attributed  in  no  small  degree  the  prestige  which  this  school 
has  ever  enjoyed.  Twenty-nine  graduates  of  Yale  College, 
besides  graduates  of  other  colleges,  have  been  enrolled  in  its 
corps  of  instructors.  For  a  long  time  this  school  served  as  a 
normal  school  for  the  training  of  teachers  to  take  charge  of 
the  new  schools  springing  up.  Every  new  teacher  entering 
upon  the  work  of  instruction  here,  as  well  as  those  from  other 
schools  resorting  to  it  to  acquire  the  system  of  instruction, 
took  a  regular  course  of  lessons  in  the  sign  language  from  Mr. 
Clerc,  the  living  embodiment  of  the  French  system,  and  each 
paid  him  fifty  dollars  therefor.  The  high  standard  set  for  the 
country  at  the  beginning,  and  the  endeavor  to  live  up  to  it, 
liave  secured   results  in  the  education  of  deaf-mutes  whicli

have  caused  American  schools  for  the  deaf  to  be  universally 
acknowledged  to  be  the  best  of  their  kind  in  the  world. 

MANUAL   TRAINING. 
Mental  discipline  and  acquirements  are  but  a  part  of  the 
good  to  be  derived  from  the  school  course.     Manual  training 
now  beginning  to  be  considered  an  essential  part  of  school 
tram.ng  for  all  children,  is  doubly  so  for  deaf-mutes.     For 
then-  future  welfare  it  is  not  otiIj  necessary  that  they  should 
form  habits  of  industry,  but  that  every  boy  should  learn  how 
to  care  for  and  use  tools,  and  acquire  at  least  the  rudiments 
of  a  trade,  that  he  may  be  able  to  compete  successfully  with 
those  favored  with  hearing. 

Very   early  in   the  history  of  this   school  this  need  was 
recognized,  and  a  plan  was  adopted  of  making  manual  train- 
ing a  requisite  part  of  the  education  of  its  pupils.     Instruc- 
tion in   this  new  department  was  begun  in  1822,  and  in  the 
following  year  two  large  and   convenient  workshops   wero 
erected.     From  that  day  to  this,  manual  training  has  been  a 
part  of  the  instruction  of  every  able-bodied  boy  —  rich  and 
poor  alike  —passing  through  his  school  course  here.     Habits 
of  industry  are  invaluable,  and  they  should  be  acquired  at  the 
formative  period  of  life.     It  is  of  much  less  importance  what 
one  learns  to  do,  than  that  one  should  learn  to  do  promptly 
and  well  whatever  one  undertakes.     With  industrious  habits 
a  trained  eye,  a  skilled  hand,  and  cultivated  judgment,  one 
may  acquire  a  new  trade  with  comparative  ease,  but  where 
all  these  are  wanting,  to  start  on  any  new  line  of  work  is  a 
difficult  task. 

Boys  receive  instruction  in  cabinet-making  and  shoe-mak- 
ing. Until  1892,  there  was  a  tailor's  shop  also.  Most  of  the 
girls  learn  to  sew  and  to  do  some  of  the  lighter  parts  of  house 
work. 

In  the  cabinet-shop  the  boys  learn  how  to  use  wood-work- 
ing tools,  and  when  they  have  finished  their  school  course 
they  find  it  comparatively  easy  to  secure  employment  in  car- 
penter shops,  in  furniture  establishments,  or  in  any  othnr  oecu- 
pation  in  which  that  class  of  tools  is  used.     Thosi  who  return

to  farm  life  find  the  knowledge  which  they  have  obtained  in 
this  branch  of  instruction  valuable  in  saving  the  cost  of 
repairs  and  in  the  manufacture  of  many  needed  and  useful 
articles.  The  cabinet-shop  is  supplied  with  power  for  the 
turning-lathe  and  heavy  sawing,  but  the  rest  of  the  work 
here,  as  all  of  that  in  the  ^lioeshop,  is  performed  by  hand,  as 
the  object  is  not  to  turn  off  a  large  amount  of  work,  but  to 
teach  boys  the  use  and  proper  care  of  tools. 

Shoe-making  has  proved  a  useful  trade  for  many  boys,  as 
it  requires  very  little  capital.  One  can  start  in  the  trade 
almost  anywhere,  and  very  seldom  does  a  good  cobbler  fail  to 
find  sufficient  work  to  make  a  comfortable  living. 

Drawing  is  carefully  taught  in  order  to  cultivate  the  band 
and  the  eye,  and  as  a  preparation  for  understanding  working 
plans  in  the  mechanical  arts,  and  as  laying  the  foundation 
for  designing  and  other  art  work  with  those  who  show  special 
talent  in  those  lines.  ' 

An  extensive  inquiry  made,  in  1886,  among  former  pupils 
of  the  school,  showed  them  engaged  at  that  time  as  follows :

useful  and  eftiv  .^embers  of  the  household.  Of  these  two 
classes  no  note  is  made  in  the  above  list  of  occupations. 

WAGES. 

As  a  rule  the  wages  reported  are  not  inferior  to  those 
earned  by  others  in  the  same  kinds  of  work,  and  some  are  re- 
ceiving wages  above  the  average. 

One  shoemaker  earns  $125.00  per  month  on  an  average, 
others  report  an  average  of  $60.00  per  month,  others  $40.00 
per  month,  and  the  lowest  reported  in  that  trade  is  $1.00  a 
day— the  wages  of  boys  little  more  than  half  way  through 

their  teens. 

One  weaver  earns  $53.00  a  month,  others  $40.00,  others 

$30.00  to  $35.00. 

Carpenters  generally  report  wages  of  $2.00  a  day. 

Cabinet-makers  earn  from  $1.25  to  $2.25  a  day. 

One  mechanic  earns  from  $75.00  to  $80.00  per  month. 

Clock-makers  report  wages  varying  from  $1.25  to  $3.00  per 
day  for  piece  work. 

Burnishers  report  wages  varying  from  $1.25  to  $5.00  per 

day  for  piece  work. 

Teachers  receive  wages  which  will  not  compare  unfavor- 
ably with  the  wages  paid  for  teaching  the  same  grades  of 
classes  in  the  profession  generally,  the  highest  salary  reported 
being  $1800. 

The  patent  lawyer,  in  a  competitive  examination  for  the 
chief  examinership  in  the  patent  otiic  received  the  highest 
mark,  but  being  debarred  from  that  office  by  his  iniirmity,  he 
entered  ui^on  th.e  practice  of  patent  law,  in  which  he  has 
gained  a  lucrative  practice.

It  will  be  seen  by  a  glance  at  the  list  given  above,  that 
there  is  a  great  variety  in  the  occnpations  of  former  pupils. 
Comparatively  few  of  thejn  have  followed  the  trades  learned 
at  school,  but  all  hav  rried  with  them  the  trained  hand  and 
eye,  the  cultivated  judgment,  and  the  industrious  habits  ac- 
quired. In  no  case  have  they  found  these  a  hindrance  to 
their  advancement,  but,  rather,  on  the  foundations  thus  laid 
they  have  built  their  success.  There  is  nothing  degrading, 
or  belittling,  in  the  acquirement  of  any  honest  handicraft. 
The  false  impression  that  there  was  has  started  many  a  young 
man  on  his  way  to  the  almshouse  or  the  jail.  Honest  indus- 
try of  any  kind  is  honorable.  Voluntary  idleness  is  degrad- 
ing, whether  it  be  found  among  the  rich  or  the  poor,  among: 
the  learned  or  the  ignorant. 

The  plan  of  manual  training  iirst  put  into  operation  here 
has  been  adopted  by  nearly  every  school  for  deaf-mutes  in  the 
country,  and  to  it  may  be  attributed  in  no  small  degree  the 
fact  that  a  deaf-mute  pauper  or  vagrant  from  among  gradu- 
ates is  rarely  found,  though  impostors  not  infrequently  assume 
the  role  of  deaf-mutes  that  they  more  readily  may  work  upon- 
tlie  sympathies  of  the  public  and  so  procure  the  means  of 
living  without  labor.  As  a  class,  the  country  through,  deaf- 
mute  graduates  are  honest,  industrious,  thrifty,  and  respected 
citizens,  and  not  a  few  of  them  have  brought  up  families  of 
hearing  children,  who  have  risen  to  positions  of  influence  and 
honor. 

AGE   OF   ADMISSION. 

In  the  early  years  of  the  school  the  time  allowed  to  the 
beneliciaries  of  the  several  States  was  very  short,  and  that 
the  pupils  might  be  able  to  accomplish  the  most  in  the  time 
allowed,  the  age  of  admission  was  set  high,  as  the  following 
extract  from  the  twenty-seventh  annual  report  will  show  : 

"  Those  children  who  were  to  receive  no  aid  from  any  public  body  and 
whose  term  of  instruction  was  therefore  not  limited,  like  that  of  benefl- 
ciiiries,  have  always  been  admitted  to  the  Asylum  at  the  age  of  ten  years 
If  their  friends  desire  it ;  and  in  a  few  cases  they  have  been  taken  at  an 
earlier  age,  because,  it  was  presumed,  that  if  five  years  were  not  sutHcient 
they  would  be  kept  still  longer  under  instruction.    But  for  the  larger 


20 


AMERICAN    ASYLUM. 


class  of  its  pupils,  the  Asylum,  in  view  of  the  whole  subject,  and  after 
much  consideration,  fixed  upon  fourteen  years  at  first,  and  afterwards 
upon  twelve,  as  the  best  time  for  tiie  coninuMiceni<nt  of  their  education. 
This  course  was  adoi)ted  in  accordance  with  the  \  iews  and  wishes  of  a 
most  respectable  board  of  commissioners,  appointed  by  the  legislatures  of 
Massachusetts,  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  and  Vermont,  to  examine  into  the 
state  and  condition  of  tliis  institution,  as  respects  its  funds,  and  tlio  in- 
struction, treatment,  and  emi)loyment  of  the  pupils,  and  to  ascertain  the 
terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  deaf  and  dumb,  who  may  be  sent  to 
the  Asylum  by  those  States,  will  be  received." 

In  1843  the  age  of  admission  was  again  reduced,  as  will 
appear  by  the  following  vote  passed  by  the  board  of 
directors  : 

"Voted.  That  the  earliest  age  for  the  admission  of  pupils  into  the  Asy 
luni  be  eight  years  ;  with  the  hope  that  all  such  that  are  admitted  at  an 
earlier  age  than  twelve  years  shall  be  continued  for  the  term  of  six  years 
at  least." 

It  is  interesting  to  notice  the  change  in  the  age  of  pupils  at 
admission  since  then.  An  examination  of  the  records  shows 
that  of  the  first  one  hundred  pupils  only  eight  were  under  ten 
years  of  age,  when  they  began  their  bchool  course ;  fifty  three 
were  sixteen  years  of  age  or  over;  forty-two  were  eighteen 
years  of  age  or  over  ;  fifteen  were  over  twenty  five  years  of  age, 
and  one  had  reached  the  age  of  fifty. 

Of  the  last  one  hundred  admitted  previous  to  May,  1889, 
fcyrtyeight  were  under  ten  years  of  age;  nine  were  over  sixteen 
years  of  age,  and  only  four  had  passed  the  age  of  eighteen. 
One  had  reached  the  age  of  twenty-seven. 

The  average  age  of  the  first  one  hundred  pupils  at  admis- 
sion was  17.91  years.  The  average  age  ot  the  last  one 
hundred  at  admission  was  10.77  years  —  a  gain  of  7-18  years 
in  the  right  direction. 

TIME   ALLOWED    FOR   INSTRUCTION. 

In  the  matter  of  time  allowed  at  school,  the  deaf-mute 
children  of  this  generation  are  highly  favored  above  those  of 
two  generations  ago.  On  this  point  the  seventh  annual  re- 
port of  this  school  speaks  as  follows  :  "  Some  pupils  stay  at 
the  Asvlnr.i  only  two  years,  and  four  is  thought  by  many  a

pretty  considerable  time  for  completing  tiieir  education.   And 
yet  in  this  time  some  hope  that  these  infants  in  knowledge, 
though  they  may  be  men  in  stature,  as  ignorant  of  knowledge 
of  language,  when  they  begin,  as  the  little  child  who  is  taking 
his  finst  lessons  in  his  primer,  can  be  taught  how  to  write 
English  with  grammatical  accuracy,  and  to  read  books  with 
understanding,  and  also   liave    their    minds   opened  to  the 
reception  of  moral  and  religious  truth,  and  to  an  acquain- 
tance, perhaps,  with  arithmetic,  geography,  and  history,  and 
in  addition  to  all  this,  become  tolerable  proficients  in  some 
mechanical  employment.    Could  such  things  be  accomplished 
in  the  education  of  those  who  are  deprived  of  two  of  the  most 
important  faculties  which  man  enjoys,  it  would  put  to  shame 
all  that  is  done  by  the  most  ingenious  and  attentive  parents, 
and  at  the  most  celebrated  schools,  in  training  up  to  knowl- 
edge and  usefulness  those  who  are  favored  with  hearing  and 
speech  and  all  the  superior  facilities  of  acquiring  inforniation 
and  improvement,  which  these  valuable  privileges  afford." 

In  1825  the  commissioners  above  referred  to  visited  the 
school,  and  after  full  consultation  with  the  board  of  directors, 
the  latter  passed  the  following  preamble  and  resolution,  viz.  • 
"  Whereas,  it  is  necessary,  not  only  for  tlie  good  of  the  pupils,  but  for  the 

convenience  of  the  Asylum,  that  every  pupil  should  continue  at  least 

four  years,  that  being  the  least  time  in  which  they  can  acquire  even  an 

ordinary  education, 

"  ReHolved,  That  it  is  expected  that  no  one  will  be  placed  here  for  u  less 
term  than  four  years." 

^  In  1835,  the  regular  term  of  instruction  was  extended  to 
five  years. 

As  we  look  back  over  this  history,  and  consider  the  very 
short  time  allowed  for  the  school  course,  and  consider,  more- 
over, that  the  majority  of  the  pupils  on  entering  thy  school 
had  reached  an  age  when  the  mind  had  lost  its  pliability,  we 
do  not  wonder  that  the  attainments  in  language  were  so  lim- 
ited that  they  failed  to  free  themselves  from  deaf-muteisms, 
but,  rather,  considering  the  circumstances,  we  marvel  that 
they  were  able  to  accomplish  so  much  as  they  did.  All  honor 
to  them  !   All  honor  to  the  teachers,  who,  in  spite  of  all  draw-

backs  and  (liscouragements,  fitted  their  pupils  to  take  their 
parts  in  life  so  well  !  What  wonld  be  th(»u«^ht  in  these  days 
oi' two  years,  ov/our  years,  as  tlie  period  allowed  for  the  edu- 
cation ofdeat'iuiites? 

As  time  has  passed  on,  the  necessities  of  the  case  have  been 
appreciated  better,  and  the  period  of  instruction  has  gradually 
been  increased.  Massachusetts  now  allows  ten  years  to  every 
one  of  its  deaf  children,  and  ^\ves,  power  to  the  Governor  to 
extend  the  time  beyond  that  limit  in  the  case  of  meritorious 
pupils,  "  recommended  therefor  by  the  principal  or  other  chief 
officer  of  the  school  in  which  they  are  members."  In  the  rest 
of  New  England  the  State  authorities  have  discretionary 
power  to  extend  the  time  to  about  the  same  limit.  One 
more  step  in  advance  is  needed,  viz.,  to  grant  the  same  privi- 
leges to  the  deaf  child  that  are  accorded  to  his  hearing 
brothers  and  sistefs,  to  enter  school  as  soon  as  he  is  old 
enough,  and  remain  until  his  education  is  comjdeted,  includ- 
ing instruction  in  the  kindergarten,  the  primary  school,  the 
grammar  school,  and  in  speech  and  lip-reading. 

METPIODS  OF  INSTRUCTION. 
Great  changes  have  also  taken  place  in  the  methods  of  in- 
struction. Finding  an  insurmountable  barrier  to  acquiring  the 
system  of  instruction  in  Great  Britain,  Mr.  Gallaudet  went 
to  France,  partially  learned  the  system  there  in  use,  and 
brought  it,  embodied  in  the  person  of  Laurent  Clerc,  to  this 
country.  It  was  a  marvelous  system,  but  there  was  too  much 
machinery  about  it,  and  like  all  the  machinery  of  those  days  it 
was  crude  and  cumbersome.  Too  much  time  was  spent  over 
the  sign  language.  It  seems  sometimes  to  have  been  regarded 
as  an  end  ratlier  than  a  means.  The  lever  was  nr'otaken  for 
the  load  which  it  was  intended  to  move.  For  example,  in 
the  teaching  of  language,  instead  of  presenting  the  idea 
vividly  in  brief  natural  signs,  and  then  turning  at  once  to 
written,  or  spelled,  language,  the  idea  was  first  given  in  free 
natural  signs,  next  in  word  signs  in  the  order  of  the  words, 
and  iaatlv  bv  sin-ns  in  the  order  of  the  words,  each  word 
being  accompanied  by  other  signs  indicating  the  part  of  speech

as 


:or  the  edu- 


and  ^Mviiig  its  fi^rainmntical  conatniotion.   After  all  this  prep- 
arati.;ii  came  the  written  language  for  the  idea. 

Other  crudities  there  were.  Mr.  Galhiudet,  with  his  coad- 
jutors, set  to  work  to  improve  this  instrument  wliich  had  heen 
placed  in  their  hands.  Their  successors  have  pursued  the  same 
course.  One  after  another  its  useless  and  cumbersome  parts 
have  been  removed,  and  its  usefulness  has  been  increased 
thereby.  It  is,  and  will  always  continue  to  be,  the  easiest  and 
most  efficient  n. odium  of  thinking  for  the  congenitally  deaf, 
It  is  invaluable  as  a  means  of  conveying  ideas  rapidly,  both 
in  giving  information  and  in  making  exi)Ianations.  Every 
teacher  of  tlie  deaf  should  be  a  master  of  the  sign  language, 
and  should  use  it  with  perfect  freedom  and  yet  with  great 
discretion.  It  should  never  be  more  than  a  means  to  an  end. 
In  the  days  when  the  school  i)eriod  was  so  short,  the  end 
sought  was  to  lay  up  knowledge  in  the  sign  language.  Now 
we  liave  passed  beyond  that,  and  merely  use  it  as  a  means  ot 
reaching  the  point  wherd  all  knowledge  may  be  reached 
through  the  English  language  and  stored  in  it. 

The  system  of  instruction  is  now  thoroughly  eclectic — writ- 
ing, speech,  lip-reading,  manual  spelling,  pictures,  pantominr, 
actions,  and  the  sign-language  are  all  freely  used.  The  ends 
aimed  at  are  the  mental  development  of  the  pupil  and  a  mas- 
tery of  tlie  English  language,  and  any  means  which  will  con- 
duce to  these  ends  are  unhesitatingly  employed. 


ARTICULATION. 

Articulation  has  always  had  a  place  in  the  instruction 
given  in  this  school.  From  the  beginning  the  semi-mute  and 
semi-deaf  have  had  their  speech  kept  up  and  improved  by 
special  attention.  The  subject  was  investigated  from  time  to 
time  in  its  workings  in  other  countries  by  special  agents  of 
this  and  other  schools,  and  the  best  light  to  be  had  was  fol- 
lowed. In  the  very  limited  time  allowed  for  the  school  course, 
and  considering,  also,  the  age  at  which  pupils  were  admitted, 
it  was  not  deemed  wise  to  extend  the  instruction  beyond  the 
above-named   classes.     As  the  school  period  was  increased

more  could  bo  done.     In  1845  the  fullovviiig  resolution  was 
passed  by  the  board  of  directors  : 

"Voted,  In  view  of  tlio  fiictsand  results  obtained  by  Mr.  Weld,  the  Prin- 
cipiilof  the  Asylum,  during  bis  lute  visit  to  various  instilutious  fur  the  edu- 
cation of  deaf  mutes  in  Europe,  tliat  the  board  of  directors  will  take  ctn- 
cient  measures  to  introdu(;e  into  the  course  of  instruction  in  the  Asylum 
every  improvement  to  be  derived  from  tliese  foreign  institutions;  and 
with  regard  to  teaeliiiig  deaf-mutes  to  articulate,  and  to  luiderstand  wluit 
is  said  to  them  orally,  that  they  will  give  it  a  full  and  jirolonged  trial, 
and  do  in  tliis  branch  of  instruction  everything  that  is  practically  and 
permanently  useful." 

In  accordance  with  this  resolution  idnrnt  thirty  pupils  re- 
ceived special  instruction  in  speech  and  lip-read  in  15  during 
the  school  year  of  iS-if)  (I.  In  tiie  following  year  forty  pupils 
were  so  instructed.  Three  years  later  we  find  the  class  in 
articulation  and  lip-reading  still  numbered  about  forty,  and 
so  on,  showing  that  there  was  a  thorough  and  persistent  at- 
tempt in  the  spirit  of  the  resolution,  and  with  results  in  some 
cases,  both  in  speech  and  lip-reading,  which  iiave  rarely  been 
excelled. 

In  1857,  a  special  teacher  of  articulation  was  employed  by 
this  school  —  the  first  engaged  by  any  school  for  deaf-mutes 
in  this  country  —  and  from  that  time  to  this,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  one  break  of  five  years,  the  school  has  not  been  with- 
out a  special  instructor  in  those  branches. 

This  was  the  first  eclectic  school  to  make  use  of  Bell's 
System  of  Visible  Speech  as  an  aid  in  teaching  deaf-mutes  to 
speak.  Mr.  Alexander  Graham  Bell  spent  the  months  of 
May  and  June,  1872,  in  the  school  in  introducing  the  system 
and  in  training  teachers  to  give  instruction  in  it. 

Of  late  years  more  attention  has  been  given  to  articulation 
and  lip-reading,  and  their  field  has  been  broadened.  This 
school,  while  holding  fast  to  all  that  is  good  in  the  past,  has 
settled  upon  the  policy  of  giving  all  new  pupils  a  thorough 
and  prolonged  test,  under  special  teachers,  as  to  their  ability 
to  acquire  speech  and  lip-reading,  and  of  dropping  only  such 
as  those  teachers  regard  as  hopeless  cases.  With  the  rest 
daily  instruction    in    speech   and   lip-reading  is   continued

tlirou<,'h  tho  course.  This  plan  has  been  adopted  in  the  beh'ef 
thiit  iiitellijriblc  speech,  even  it'  imperfect,  is  valuable,  and 
that  it  should  bo  given  to  every  pupil  who  can  accpiire  it, 
evon  at  a  partial  sacrifice  of  development  in  other  directions, 
which  will  ro(]uire  an  addition  of  one  or  two  years  to  the  time 
now  allowed  for  the  school  course  in  order  to  make  good  the 
loss. 

An  examination  of  the  school's  records  in  1^89  revealed 
i\ui  following  facts : 

Of  the  pupils  received  into  this  soljool  during  the  previous 
four  years  seventy-four  per  cent,  gave  sutticient  promise  of 
success  in  accjuiring  speech  and  lip-reading  to  warrant  their 
continued  daily  instruction  in  those  branches.  Of  those  thus 
taught  forty-seven  +  per  cent,  were  born  deaf;  fourteen  +  per 
cent,  lost  hearing  under  two  years  of  age ;  twenty-four  +  per 
cent,  lost  hearing  between  the  ages  of  two  and  four  years ; 
and  fourteen  +  per  cent,  lost  hearing  after  the  age  of  four 
years. 

The  more  than  twenty-five  hundred  pupils  who  have  re- 
ceived instruction  at  the  American  Asylum  have  come  from 
twenty -five  States,  the  British  Provinces,  and  the  West  In-

Likewise  the  following : 

Of  the  first  hundred  pupils  admit- 
ted to  the  school  — 

46  were  born  deaf. 

30  became  deaf  at  two  years  or  un- 
der. 

7  became  deaf  from  three  to  eight 
years  of  age  inclusive. 

0  became  deaf  at  over  eight  years 
of  age. 

17  unknown  at  what  age  deafness

1  had  one  deaf  parent. 
28  came  from  23  families  in  which 

there  were  forty  other  deaf  children. 

0  was  reported  as  having  parents 
related  by  blood. 

In  one  family  represented  there 
were  6  deaf-mute  children. 

In  one  family  represented  there 
were  two  deaf-mute  sons  and  one 
deaf  mute  daughter  who  were  mar- 
ried before  this  school  wae  eotab- 
lished. 

In  another  family  there  were  4 
deaf-mute  children. 


Of  the  last  hundred  pupils  admit- 
ted— 

41  were  born  deaf. 

26  became  deaf  at  two  years  of  age 
or  under. 

22  became  deaf  from  three  to  eight

10  unknown  at  what  age  deafness 
occurred. 

5  have  deaf  parents,  and  in  these 
families  there  are  thirteen  other  deaf 
children  and  two  hearing  children— 
12  of  these  deaf  children  coming  from 
two  families. 

9  childfen,  having  hearing  parents 
unrelated  by  blood,  come  from  seven 
families  having  more  than  one  deaf- 
mute  child  —  the  whole  number  of 
deaf  children  in  these  families  being 
16,  and  the  number  of  hearing  child- 
ren 24. 

2  children  come  from  families  in 
which  the  parents  are  cousins,  and 
the  two  families  together  have  six 
deaf  mute  children  and  fifteen  hear- 
ing children. 

Up  to  May  1891  five  hundred  and  ninet}^  marriages  of  for- 
mer  pupils  had  been  reported.  From  these  liad  sprung  eight 
hundred  and  eleven  children,  of  whom  one  hundred  and  four, 
or  nearly  tliirteen  per  cent,  were  reported  congenitally  deaf. 
Nearly  one  half  the  marriages  were  without  issue. 

The  deaf-mutes  of  America  have  not  failed  to  testify  their 
love  and  admiration  for  their  first  teachers,  Thos.  H.  Gallaudet 
and  Laurent  Clerc,  nor  to  show  their  appreciation  of  their 
labors  in  their  behalf  In  September,  1850,  they  presented 
each  with  a  costly  solid  silver  service,  and  to  each^  they  have 
erected,  at  their  own  expense,  on  the  grounds  of  the  institution, 
a  permanent  memorial  at  a  total  cost  of  e  than  six  thou- 
Band  dollars.

SUPPORT. 

The  school  is  supported  partly  by  the  income  from  its  in- 
vested funds  and  partly  by  State  a])propriations,  and  is  under 
the  management  of  a  board  of  directors  composed  of  some  of 
the  most  prominent  business  and  professional  men  of  Hartford 
and  ex  officio,  the  Governors  and  Secretaries  of  the  six  New 
England  States. 

The  charge  for  board  and  tuition  is  $175  a  year  and  this 
expense  is  met  by  State  appropriations.  This  covers  from 
two-thirds  to  three-fourths  of  the  actual  cost,  the  rest  being 
provided  from  the  income  of  the  funds. 

The  school  employs  sixteen  regular  teachers,  a  special 
teacher  for  a  blind  deaf-mute,  a  teacher  of  drawing,  and  an 
instructor  of  Swedish  gymnastics. 


BOOKS   PUBLISHED. 

The  Ellen  Lyman  Memorial  Fund  of  $2,000,  given  by  Mrs. 
Lafayette  S.  Foster  of  Norwich,  Conn.,  and  an  Illustrative 
Fund  given  by  the  Hon.  Joseph  Davis  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  have 
provided  means  for  publishing  a  few  books  s])ecially  adapted 
to  the  use  of  deaf  children.  By  this  aid  the  following  books 
have  been  published  and  are  doing  useful  service  in  a  large 
pi'oj)ortion  of  the  sclioolsfor  the  deaf  in  the  United  States  and 
in  some  schools  in  Canada  and  England,  viz.:  First  Lessons  in 
English  —  a  graded  course  of  instruction  in  language  in  four 
volumes  —  by  Miss  Caroline  C.  Sweet;  Talks  and  Stories  — 
one  hundred  short  stories  and  seventy-five  conversations  for 
jiraetice  in  language  —  prepared  by  W.  G.  Jenkins,  M.  A. ; 
Hits  of  Historj  — one  hundred  stories  gathered  from  United 
States  history  —  compiled  by  John  E.  Crane,  B.  A.,  and  "A 
Story  Reader  " —  a  volume  of  short  stories  for  young  pupils 
—  compiled  by  Miss  Ida  V.  Hammond. 

The  American  Annals  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  now  known 
all  over  the  world  as  the  official  organ  of  the  schools  tor  the 
deiif  in  America,  originated  with  the  teachers  of  this  school, 
and  they  furnished  nearly  all  of  the  articles  for  the  first  two 
volumes.     It  was  published  quarterly  then,  as  now,  and  the

Board  of  Directors  of  the  school  appropriated  $300  towards 
the  expense  of  publishing  the  lirst  volume. 

At  the  First  Convention  of  American  Instructors  of  the 
Deaf  and  Dumb,  held  at  the  New  York  Institution  in  1850, 
the  magazine  was  adopted  by  that  body,  which  became  re- 
sponsible for  its  support,  and  placed  it  under  the  management 
of  its  executive  committee,  but  the  editorship  was  still  filled 
by  a  teacher  of  the  American  Asylum,  first  by  Mr.  Luzerne 
Eae,  and  after  his  death  by  Mr.  Samuel  Porter,  who  held  it 
until   the   magazine  was   suspended   on  account  of  the  Civil 

War. 

The  management  of  the  school  is  wisely  conservative,  but 
it  moves  on  in  no  old  grooves,  is  wedded  to  no  system.  It 
gladly  examines  and  tests  every  newthing  that  promises  to  be 
an  improvement,  and  with  alacrity  adopts  whatever  proves 
itself  worthy  of  acjoption.  It  believes  in  proving  all  things 
and  in  holding  fast  that  which  is  good.  It  makes  no  changes 
merely  for  the  sake  of  change,  but  is  ever  ready  to  make  any 
change  for  the  sake  of  improvement.  It  stands  where  it  has 
always  stood,  in  the  front  rank  of  schools  for  the  deaf

AN  ACT  TO  ALTER  THE  NAME  OF  THE  ASYLUM. 

At  a  General  Assembly  of  the  Slate  of  Connecticut,  ho'Jen  at  Hartford 
in  said  State,  on  the  first  Wednesday  of  May,  Anno   Domini  1819: 
Upon  the  petition  of  the  "  Connecticut  Asyhim  for  the  Education 
and  Instruction  of  Deaf  and  Dumb  Persons,"  showing  to  this  assem- 
bly,  tliat   the   said   institution,   although  styled    the   Connecticut 
Asylum,  was  originally  founded  for  the  relief  of  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb  wherever  situated,  and  that  no  preference  has  ever  been 
given  to  applicants  for  admission  on  account  of  their  local  resi- 
dence.     And   that,    in   consideration   that   the   Congress   of   the 
United    States  have   very  liberally  granted,  for   the   use   of   the 
Asylum,  a  township  of  land,  and  in  consideration  also  of  the  con- 
tributions  of   charitable   individuals   in    the   other   States  in  the 
Union,  the  members  of  the  corporation  are  desirous  of  changing 
its  corporate  name  so  that  in  future  it  be  called  "  The  American 
Asylum  at  Hartford,   for  the  Education  and  Instruction  of   the 
Deaf  and  Dumb."      '

NEW  YORK  INSTITirnON  FOR  TIJE   INSTRrCTION 
OF  THE  DEAF  AND  DUMJ}. 

Tlio  Now  York  Institution  for  t\w  Instructio!.  of  the  Deaf 
aii.l  Dumb,  at  present  located  on  Washington  Heights  in  the 
City  of  New  York,  ranks  second  in  date  among  American 
Schools  for  the  Deaf,  the  American  As-dum  at  Hartford  pre- 
ceding it  about  a  year.  Nevertheless,  its  origin,  as  will  be 
^^een,  was  as  independent  as  that  at  Hartford. 

Several   y^ars  previous  to  the  founding  of  the  Institution, 
ihore  were  two  distinct  attempts  made  in  New  York  to  instruct 
the  deaf.     The  first  effort  was  made  by  Rev.  John  Stanford, 
,1  man  whose  memory  is  still  cherished  as  a  bright  example  of 
piety  and  zealous  labor  in  behalf  of  the  unfortunate.     Finding 
in  the  almshouse,  of  which  he  was  chaplain,  several  children 
whose  ears   were   closed   to  the   ordinary  means  of  religious 
teaching,   he   made   a.i   effort   to   impart  some  instruction  to 
them.     For  this  purpose,    he    provided   them   with  slates  and 
taught  them  to  write  the  names  of  some  familiar  objects  ;  but 
for  any  further  progress,  peculiar  processes  of  instruction  wore 
necessary,  of  which  he  had  no  knowledge.     He  consequently 
found  himself  compelled  to  await  a  more  favorable  period  foV 
the    realization    of   his    wishes.     The    opnort unity   at    length 
came,  as  he    was   subsequently   one   of   (lie    fouiKlers    of   the 
institution  and  a  member  of  the  Hoard  of  Directors. 

At  this  period,  very  little  was  known  in  America  of  the 
success  of  Eurojioan  teachers.  Still  it  was  known,  in  a  general 
way,  to  men  of  science,  that  skill,  patience  and  benevolence  had 
frMnni)hed  over  the  difficulty  of  deafness  and  its  consequences  ; 
:itid  with  the  names  of  De  I'Epee  and  Sicard,  of  Braidwood 
and  Watson,  there  had  i)robably  reached  America  some  rumors 
"f  the  different  systems  in  use  in  France  and  England  respec- 
tively. IJo  this  as  it  may,  deaf  children  of  wealthy  families 
liad  been  sent  from  America  to  Great  Britain  to  be'educated 
One  of  these  was  from  New  York,  the  son  of  a  gentleman 
ii.mu.d  (ireen,  who,  as  early  as  1780,  was  i)laced  under  Thomas 
l'>rai(lwood,  whose  school  in  Edinburgh  attracted  so  much  atten- 
tion m  its  <lay.  A  letter  from  JMr.  (ireen,  giving  an  enthusi- 
astic  account  of  his    son's   progress,    appeared    in    a  medical 


joiinial,  and  e.verted  an    intlii 


ence    upon    the  founders  of  thi 


to 


Neic   York  Institution  for  the 


New  York  Institution.  At  the  same  time,  and  for  several 
years  preceding,  three  deaf-mutes  of  the  name  of  Boiling,  be- 
longing to  the  Virginia  family  of  that  name,  were  also  under 
the  care  of  Braid  wood,  ard  were  said  to  have  been  remarkably 
well  educated. 

In  the  beginning  of  1812,  John  Braidwood,  a  grandson  of 
Thomas  Braidwood,  came  to  America,  with  the  design  of  set- 
ting up  a  school  for  deaf-mutes  on  a  magnificent  scale.  Col. 
William  Boiling,  a  brother  of  the  three  deaf-mutes  just  men- 
tioned, having  himself  children  afflicted  with  the  same  priva- 
tion, invited  young  Braidwood  to  his  bouse,  and  furnished 
him  with  funds  to  establish  a  boarding  scbool  for  the  instruc- 
tion of  deaf-mutes,  proposed  to  be  located  in  Baltimore.  Pos- 
sessed of  talents  and  skill  as  a  teacher,  Braidwood  was  totally 
deficient  in  steadiness  and  moral  principle.  He  squandered  in 
dissipation  and  debauchery  the  funds  entrusted  to  him,  and 
after  a  succession  of  failures,  resulting  from  his  weakness,  he 
finally  died  a  victim  to  the  bottle.  In  the  course  of  his  mel- 
ancholy eccentricities,  he  made  his  way  to  New  York,  and 
collected  a  few  deaf-mutes  to  form  a  school  in  that  city, 
which,  however,  was  soon  broke  up,  like  those  in  Virginia, 
by  his  own  misconduct. 

His  undertaking  in  New  York  attracted  the  attention, 
among  others,  of  Dr.  Samuel  Akkrly,  afterward  one  of  the 
earliest  and  most  efficient  friends  of  the  New  York  Institution, 
of  which  he  was,  for  ten  years,  at  once  physician,  secretary, 
and  superintendent,  and  also  the  compiler  of  an  early  volume 
of  "  Elementary  Exercises  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,"  publisiied 
in  1821,  and  not  without  merit  in  its  day,  though  long  since  laid 
aside. 

In  1816,  William  Lee,  Esq.,  on  his  return  from  Bordeaux, 
France,  where  he  had  been  consul,  brought  a  circular  letter 
from  Mr.  F.  Gard,  the  distinguished  pupil  of  the  Abbe  St. 
Sernin,  and  for  many  years  a  teacher  at  thf  Institution  of 
Bordeaux.  The  letter  was  written  in  excellent  English,  which 
M.  Gard  had  studied,  and  was  addressed  to  "  Philanthropists 
of  the  United  States,"  and  contained  an  offer  of  himself  as 
teacher  of  the  deaf  and  dumb.  Mr.  Lee  handed  it  to  Samuel 
L.  MiTciiKLL,  M.D.,  a  physician  in  this  city,  and  a  man  eminent 
in  his  day  for  learning,  philanthropy  and  social  influence.  Dr. 
Mjtchkll's  sympathies  were  at  once  aroused,  and  he  conversed

u  itli  Rev.  Mr.  Stanford,  who,  as  has  been  mentioned,  iiad  met 
a  number  of  deaf-mutes  in  the  course  of  his  ministrations,  and 
with  Dr.  Akerly,  whom  he  knew  as  a  man  with  a  heart  open 
to  every  call  of  benevolence.      These  three  gentlemen  called  a 
meeting  at  the  house  of  Rev.  Mr.  Stanford,  at   which  were 
present,  besides  themselves.    Gen.  James   Mapes,   Elisha    W. 
King,  John   B.  Scott,   Silvanus   Miller,   R.    Wheaton,  James 
Palmer,  Nicholas  Roome,  and  Rev.  Alexander  McLeod.     This 
meeting  resulted  in  another  more  public,  at  Tammany  Ilall,  at 
which  the  feasibility  of  instructing  the  deaf  and  dumb  was  de- 
monstrated by  evidence,  which  Dr.  Mitchell  had  collected  ;  and 
then  arose   the   more   practical  question  as   to  whether  there 
wore  enough  deaf-mutes  in  the  city  to  Justify  the  establish- 
ment of  a  school.     The  outcome  was  the  first  census  of  deaf- 
mutes  ever  made  in  this  country.     The  committee  appointed 
presented,  at  a  third  meeting  on   January  23d,  1817,  reports 
from  seven  of  the  ten  wards  of  the  city,  giving  tlu  names  and 
residences  of  sixty-six  deaf-mutes.     Tiie  population  of  the  city 
vas  120,000,  which  showed  a  proportion  of  1  to  1,818.     It  was 
believed  by  some  that  these  could  be  accommodated  at  one 
school,  and  consequently  those  belonging  to  the  City  of  New 
Vork  could  be  sent  to  the  scliool  under  Rev.  Dr.  Gallaudet  at 
Hartford,  Conn.,  which  might  be  injured  by  another  school  in 
New    York    City.     Therefore,    further    proceedings  in   New 
V  ork  were  considered  by   some   as   unnecessary.     These  and 
other  reasons  were  urged  at  the  time,  and  had  a  preponderat- 
nig  influence  on  the  majority  of  the  gentlemen  present,  with 
the  result  that  the  public  meetings  were  adjourned  sine  die. 

The  gentlemen  who   first  met  on    this  interesting   subject, 
were  still  firm  in  their  purpose,  and  the  meetings  which  were 
subsequently    convened,    were    attended    bv    those  only  who 
wished  a  scliool  established  in  New  York.    ^In    the  Spring  of 
1817,  they  accordingly  met  and  organized  a  list  of  officers  and 
'in-ectors,  at  the  head  of  which  was  the  Hox.  DeWitt  Clinton, 
and  a  petition  was  presented  to  the  Legislature  for  an  Act  of 
Incorporation.     The  high  character  of  the  applicants,  and  the 
nnexceptionable,  though    novel,  nature  of  the  application,  in- 
sured a  ready  and  favorable  hearing,  and  on  the  15tli  ol  April 
IH17,  theNew  York  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  ac- 
'I'lired  a  legal  existence   with  the  usual  corporate  privileges. 
By  an  interesting  coincidence,  this  Avas  the  same  dav  (hat^'the

Kew    York  Institution  for  the 


school  at  Hartford  was  opened  for  the  reception  of  pupils. 
On  the  2iid  of  May,  1817,  the  board  of  directors  met  for  the 
first  time.  Their  first  act  was  to  appoint  a  committee  to  write 
to  England  for  a  teacher,  under  the  impression  that  the  nysteni 
of  articulation,  introduced  by  Braidwood,  would  be  of  more 
value  than  the  French  system,  which  discarded  it.  No  an- 
swer was  received  till  the  summer  of  1818,  when  the  terms  de- 
manded were  so  exorbitant  that  it  was  impossible  to  accede 
to  them. 

On  the  twenty-fourth  of  March,  1818,  the  deaf  and  dumb  of 
New  York  were  collected  in  the  court  room  of  the  City  Hall, 
and  lent  an  affecting  influence  to  an  address  delivered  by  Dr. 
MiTcnKLL  to  an  assemblage  of  the  prominent  ladies  and  gentle- 
men of  the  city,  upon  the  necessity  of  making  provision  for 
their  education.  On  the  twentieth  of  May  of  the  same  year,  Mr. 
AnRAHAM  O.  Stanshlrv,  a  gentleman  of  liberal  education, 
who  had  been  a  year  in  the  asylum  at  Hartford,  in  charge  of 
the  administrative  d^^partment,  occupied  a  room  which  the 
city  authorities  had  kindly  set  apart  in  the  almshouse, 
and  whom,  after  waiting  in  vain  to  hear  from  Europe,  the 
directors  of  the  New  York  Institution  had  engaged  to  take 
charge  of  tlieir  new  school.  Around  him  were  grouped  four 
young  deaf-mutes,  who  had  been  brought  to  him  that  morning, 
and  whom  he  was  in  the  act  of  teaching  the  letters  of  the 
manual  alphabet.  They  were  to  live  at  home  and  come  to  him 
every  day.  Jiefore  the  close  of  the  year  1818,  had  been  ga- 
thered thirty-three  pupils,  and  Miss  Mary  Stansbury  had  been 
engaged  as  an  addititmal  teacher.  Twenty-four  of  these  pupils 
were  day  scholars,  and  nine  were  boarders,  who,  with  the  other 
^idditions  duri.ig  the  first  eleven  years,  were  accommodated  in 
roonis  hired  at  41  Warren  Street  for  their  benefit.  Some  of 
these  were  paying  j)Upils,  bu*  the  expenses  of  the  majority  were 
defrayed  by  cliaritable  coniributions,  and  by  the  City  of  New- 
York,  which  agreed  to  make  an  annual  appropriation  of  $400. 

At  the  Annual  JNfeeting  of  the  members  of  the  institution, 
composed  of  ladies  and  gentlemen  who  had  agreed  to  pay  three 
dollars  annually,  or  tliirty  dollars  in  one  sum,  held  on  the 
third  Tuesday  of  May  in  that  year,  in  accordance  with  the 
terms  of  the  charter,  Br.  MiTrnKi.L  was  elected  President,  in 
place  of  De  Witt  Clinton,  who,  having  been  elected  Governor, 
felt  constrained  to  retire.     In  the  spring  of  1810,  as  the  num- 


hiHtruction  of  the  Deaf  ami   -Dumb.  la 

l.or  of  pupils  had  rcachcl  forty-seven,  it  nas  found  impossible 
to  support  the  institution  on  the  limited  resources  they  could 
command,  and  Dr.  Akkuly,  as  secretary  of  the  Board  of 
r.-ustees,  accompanied  by  Mr.  Stansbuky  and  eleven  of  his 
pupils,  proceeded  to  Albany,  and  held  an  exhibition  before  the 
Lenjislature.  The  result  of  the  favorable  impression  thus  creat- 
ed was  the  passage,  on  the  13th  of  April,  1819,  of  two  Acts- 
one  making  a  direct  appropriation  of  $10,000  from  the  State 
treasury,  and  the  other  securing  to  the  institution  a  moiety  of 
the  tax  on  lotteries  in  the  City  of  New  York,  from  which^  for 
fourteen  years  thereafter,  a  considerable  part  of  its  income 
was  derived. 

In  June  following,  Mr.  Horace  Lookborrow  was  en<.a-ed 
a.  an  assistant  teacher.     In   June,  1821,  a   further   grant  Tvas 
obtaine.1  from  the  Legislature  of  $2,500,  and  on  the  ]6th  of 
April,  1 H22,  was   passed  an    Act    appropriating  $50  each  per 
annum   for  thirty-two   indigent   State   pupils,  four  of  whom 
were  to  be  sent  from  each  Senate   district,  and  authorising  the 
supervisors  of  any  county  in  such  district  to  send  to  the  insti- 
tution at  the  expense  of  the  county,  any  deaf-mutes  not  t.ro- 
v.ded  tor  by  the  preceding  arrangement.     In  this  way,  it  was 
thought    no  deaf-mute  need  be  left  without  instruction      The 
term    of   instruction    was,    however,  unfortunately  limited  tc» 
three  years.     In  the  meantime,  important  changes  had  taken 
place  intl.e  organization  of  the  institution.     Mr.  Stansburv 
departed  for  Europe  in  May,  182],  and  Mr.  IIorack  LooKnoK- 
Kow  was  made  Principal.     The  administrative  department  of 
the  institution  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  Dr.  Samuel  Akeri  y 
as  superintendent  and  physician,  who  occupied  this  post  till 
tebniary,  1831.     In  1827,  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  was  passed, 
grantmg  #*lo,000  to  aid  in  the  erection  of  buildings  L  thJ 
permanent   use  of   the  institution,   coupled  with  three  condi- 
t.ons  :     1st.  That  the  directors  should  raise  an  equal  amount ; 
-d.  I  hat  the  location  and  plans  should  receive  the  approval  of 
the  Superintendent  of  Common  Schools  and  the  expenditures 
be  accounted  for   to  the  State   Comptroller ;     8d.    That   the 
institution  should  be  subject  to  the  inspection  of  the  Super- 
intendent  of  Public   Schools,  this  ofHcer  being,  at  the  same 
time    authorized   to  visit  other  institutions  for  the  deaf  and 
dimb,  and  to  suggest  to  the  director.,  such  improvements  in 
the  system  of  instruction  as  might  seem  to  him  desirable

Neic    York    Institution. 


The  directors  liavini?  complied  witli  all  tlie  conditions,  on 
the  19th  of  October,  1827,  the  corner-stone  of  the  new  huildin.!? 
wa^  laid  on  Fiftieth  Street,  between  the  Fourth  and  Fifth 
Avenues,  by  the  lion.  Azariah  C.  Flagg,  Secretary  of  State, 
and  ex  offido  Superintendent  of  Common  Schools,  in  presence 
of  a  large  assemblage  of  friends  of  the  institution.  The  siti' 
select.d'vvas  an  acre  of  ground  donated  by  the  city,  but  some 
ten  acres  of  land  adjoining  were  leased  for  the  use  of  the 

pupils. 

For  one  who  sees  it  now,  densely  built  up  with  elegant  stone 
structures,  palatial  dwellings,  churches,  hotels,  the  college,  and 
the  cathedral,  it  is  difficult  to  realize  that  this  was  then  a 
rural  spot,  surrounded  by  green  fields,  woods  and  meadows, 
and  reached  only  by  country  roads. 

Tlie  building  was  dedicated  on  the  ;iOth  of  September,  1829. 
The  address  on  the  occasion  was  delivered  by  Rkv.  Jameh 
M11.NOR,  D.D.,  Rector  of  St.  George's  Church,  who,  at  the  elec- 
tion in  May,  had  been  chosen  as  the  successor  of  Du.  Mitciikm,, 
in  the  office  of  President.  Though  the  cost  had  exceeded  the 
oric^inal  estimate  by  $15,000,  amounting  in  all  to  |35,000,  the 
enth-e  amount,  except  $10,000  given  by  the  State,  was  secured 
by  the  directors,  who  thus  far  exceeded  the  conditions  imposed 
upon  them  by  law. 

Mr.  Stansbukv  had  not  been  a  teacher  at  Hartford,  and  his 
ideas  on  the  method  of  instructiou  Avere  rathei  crude  and 
vague.  Conse(piently,  at  New  York,  experience  was  as  yet 
wanting,  and  the  first  teachers,  themselves  groping  in  the  dark, 
endeavored,  by  Dr.  Watson's  work  on  deaf-mute  instruction, 
to  teach  articulation,  at  least  to  suc,i  of  their  pupils  as  retained 
a  remnant  of  speech  or  of  hearing.  The  results  attained,  as 
might  be  expected,  were  so  unsatisfactory  that  the  attempt  was 
soon  abandoned.  Mr.  Loofborroav  endeavored  to  reduce  to 
practice  the  V-ections  given  in  the  works  of  Sicard,  with  such 
modifications  as  his  own  experience  and  ingeniiity  suggested. 
■  He  was  a  man  of  intelligence  and  energy,  atul  had  he  been 
better  seconded  in  the  department  of  instruction,  his  success, 
in  many  instances  very  creditable,  would  have  been  greater 
and  more  uniform.  But,  with  the  exception  of  one  worthy 
lady  teacher,  and  of  a  gentleman  who  continued  but  a  year  or 
two.  his  assistants  were  inadequate  to  the  work.  Moreover,, 
the  signs  used  by  him  and  his  assistants  were  often  clumsy  and

arbitrary,  as  compared  witli  those  Mr.  Clerc  hroujjlit  from  the 
Hi'hool  of  Sicard  and  licbian  ;  nor  was  this  the  main  disadvan- 
tage. Tlio  larfjt*  nundxM-  of  jjiipiis  who  attondi'd  irregularly 
as  day  seholars,  not  only  made  unsatisfaetory  progress  theni- 
'telvos,  but  hindered  the  progress  of  their  classes.  Owing  to 
thi  (leticiency  of  \vell-(pialified  teachers,  tliere  was  less  moral 
and  religious  control  exercised  over  the  pupil-  than  was  desir- 
able, au'!  the  school  began  to  suffer  in  comparison  with  the 
neighbcjring  ones  at  Il:ii  tford  and  Philadelphia. 

This  popular  (jpinion  affected  ever>  the  Legislature  of  the 
State,  and,  as  luis  been  noted,  (m  the  oicasion,  in  1827,  of  the 
grant  to  aid  in  the  erection  of  permanent  buildings,  the  condi- 
tion was  annexed,  that  the  Institution  should  be  subject  to  the 
ofHcial  inspection  of  the  State  Superintendent  of  Common 
Schools,  and  that  higli  officer  was  directed  "to  ascertain  by 
comparison  with  other  similar  institutions,  whether  any  im- 
provements can  be  made."  Mr.  Flagg  visited  the  Institutions 
at  Hartford  and  Philadelphiii,  and  made  a  careful  comparison 
of  their  systems  oi'  instruction  with  that  which  had  been 
pursued  in  New  Vork.  The  consccpKiice  of  his  examinati'>ns 
and  recommendations  were  that,  after  ;i  contest  of  two  <>r  thret- 
yars  between  the  party  that  supported  the  old  t cache  s  ami 
the  party  that  desired  to  j.dace  the  school  on  higher  gi  lUnd, 
a  chanire  of  men  and  measures  was  resolved  on. 

The  labors  and  anxieties  connected  with  erecting  a  K.uitable 
building  having  been  brought  to  an  end,  the  directors  now 
turned  their  attention  to  making  improvements  in  the  internal 
management,  and  especially  in  the  personnel  of  the  corps  of 
instruction,  rnder  the  inspirin-*  guidance  of  their  new  presi- 
dent, they  inaugurated  measures  designed  to  gi\v'  the  institu- 
tion a  leading  i)osition  in  this  country  and  in  the  world.  1)e. 
MiLXoK  visited  Kurojx'  in  1880,  at  his  own  expense,  and  inspect- 
ed a  large  number  of  institutions.  On  his  return,  he  brought 
with  him,  from  the  Paris  Institution,  Prof.  Leon  V'aisse,  an 
instructor  who  held  a  high  rank  in  the  corps  of  the  Paris 
Institution,  t«  which  lie  returned  after  some  years  o!  service  in

institution,  were  soon  after  engaged  to  combine,  under  one 
iMiid,  the  hitherto  separate  offices  of  principal  and  superin- 
ttiident. 

From  this  dates  a  new  era  in  the  history  of  the  institution. 
Mk.  Pkkt  (afterwards  known  as  Dr.  Pkkt,  by  virtue  of  the 
title  of  LL.D.,  conferred  upon  him  by  the  Regents  of  the 
IFiuversity  of  the  State  of  New  York),  entered  upon  his  duties 
on  the  Ist  of  February,  1831,  and  at  once,  with  characteristic 
vigor,  began  to  introduce  the  changes  which  his  experienced

eye  found  necessary.     He  was  a  man  of  judgment  and  indefa- 
t.gable  energy,  and  he  left  nothing  unattempted   that  would 
rodound  to  the  beneKt  and   reputation  of  the  institution.     He 
ahvays  kept  it  before  the  public  eye,  both  in  the  city  and  at 
tlio  Ciipital.     He   procured  teachers  who   had    the  makincr  of 
"K'n  that  would  be  considered  eminent  in   any  profession"  a*

lie  prepared  and  published  a  course  of  instruction  for  the  deaf 
and  dumb,  and  originated  and   furthered,  during  his  life    a 
system  of  conventions  of  teachers  of  the  deaf,  which  have  con- 
tinucd  to  the  present  time.    He  constantlv  contributed  himself 
and  urged  his  associates  to  contribute,   articles   for  various 
periodicals,  chiefly  the  American  Annals  of  the  Deaf  sup- 
ported by  all  the  institutions  in  the  country,  and  in  every

way  inspired   enthusiasm  in   his  associates  as  well  as  in  his 
pupils.      The  result   was   that  the   institution  gained   a  full 
measure  of  that  public  favor  that  was  essential  to  its  prosperity. 
The  period  of  instruction  was  lengthened  at  various  times, 
showing  a  gradual  advance  in  correct  public  sentiment.     The 
law  of  1820  allowed  but  three  years  to  each  State  pupil.     This 
period  was  extended,  in  1825,  to  four  years,  and,  in  1830,  *o  five. 
Two  years  more  were  added  to  the  term  in   1838,  fo.   such 
pupils,  usually  about  one-half  of  the  whole,  as  desired  to  con- 
tinue, and  gave  promise  of  profiting  by  the  extension.     Again, 
in  1853,  the  Legislature  gave  its  sanction  to  the  High  Class,  es- 
tablished the  year  before,  by  authorizing  the  continuance  of 
those  State  pupils  selected  as  suitable  members  of  such  a  class, 
for  three  years'  instructiion  in  the  higher  branches   of  educa- 
tion after  the  completion  of  the  regular  term.     A  similar  ex- 
tension of  the  regular  term,  and  the  same  privilege  for  the 
more  deserving,  of  remaining  an  additional  term  as  members 
of  the  High  Class,  was  granted  to  its  State  pupils  by  the  State 
of  New  Jersey,  which'  sent  part  of  its  deaf-mutes  to  the  New 
York  Institution  up  to  the  date  of  the  opening  of  the  Institu- 
tion at   Trenton,  in    1883.     Finally,   the  term    reached  eight 
years,  and  additions  Avere  made  to  the  number  of  State  pupils, 
till,  by  the  act  of  1802,  every  indi_,'ent  deaf-mute  in  the  State, 
between  the  ages  of  twelve  and  twenty-live,   was  entitled  to 
education  at  the  public  expense.     The  number  of  pupils  was, 
also,  steadily  increased  by  the  wide  dissemination  of  notices  of 
the  Institution  circulated  in  its  Annual  Reports  ;  by  the  union 
with  the  New  York  Institution,  in  1836,  of  the  Central  Asy- 
lum,  established    in   1821    at  Canajoharie,   N.  Y. ;   by  send- 
ing through  the  State  to  seek  out  the  uneducated  deaf  ;  and  by 
a  tour,  in  which  Dr.  Peet  visited  every  city,  and  many  towns 
of  importance,  in  the  State. 

The  buildings  at  Fiftieth  Street  were  twice  enlarged,  and  a 
third  addition  was  in  contemplation,  when  it  became  evident 
that  the  out-of-door  space  surrounding  the  Institution  would 
be  unfavorably  contracted  by  the  construction  of  new  streets 
and  avenues. 

Meanwhile  the  Directors  had  acquired  a  title  to  the  premises 
they  had  hitherto  leased,  and  it  was  thought  that  it  would  be 
a  wiser  policy  to  sell  their  land,  which  had  appreciated  in  value, 
and  purchase  a  site  further  removed   from  the  denser  portion

of  the  city.     They  accordingly,  with  the  permission  of  the 
Commissioners  of  the  Land  Office,  sold  their  buildings  and 
grounds,  which  subsequently  became  the  site  of  Columbia  Col- 
lege, and  purchased  of  Colonel  James  Monroe  his  beautiful 
countryseat  known  as  Fanwood,   on    vVashington   Heights, 
embracing  thirty-Seven  and  a  half  acres  of  land,  and  command- 
ing a  beautiful  view  of  the  Hudson   River,  which  form^  its 
western  boundary.     This  beautiful  demesne   derived    its   title 
from  the  favorite  child  of  he  who  gave  the  country  the  era  of 
(jooclfeelimj,  and,  with  fitting  coincidence,  it  subsequently  be- 
came the  cognomen  of  a  beautiful  little  deaf  child,  who  found 
in  the  Institution  the  first  mother   and   home   she   had  ever 
known.     The   original  purchase,   from   municipal    necessities 
caused  by  the  extension  of  streets  and  boulevards,  has  been 
reduced  to  some  twenty-six   acres.     The    arrangements    and 
proportions  of  the  new  edifice  were  made  the  subject  of  pro- 
found study  and  reflection,  and  resulted  in  a  plan  and  eleva- 
tion which  were  regarded  by  all  familiar  with  the  needs  of 
such  an  institution  as  combining  more  points  of  excellence  ^  <an 
any  that  had  been  yet  adopted.     This  fact  is  evidenced  'jv    \e 
iHimerous  suggestions  the  buildings  have  furnishou   to  \m  iv 
inslitiilions  of  this  class,  which  have  copied  them  more  or  less 
closely  in  later  structures. 

Tlie  corner-stone  of   this  edifice  was  laid  on  Tuesday,  No- 
vember 22d,  1853,  under  the  superintendence  of  Hon.  Jacob  A. 
Vv'estervelt,  the  Mayor  of  the  City  of  New  York,  and  was  an 
occasion  of  the  deepest  interest.     A  little  over  eight  years  be- 
fore, on  the  8th  of  April,  1845,  had  occurred  an  event  which 
carried  deep  grief  to  all  the  friends  of  the  institution.     De. 
MiLNOR,  who  for  nine  years  had  held  the  office  of  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  institution,  and  had  been  for  the  last  fifteen  years 
of  his  life  its  president,  gratuitously   devoting  more  time  and 
labor  to  its  interests  than  any  of  his  associates  or  predecessors 
in  the  board  of  directors,  died  after  an  illness  of  only  a  few 
liours.     At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  society  in  the  May  fol- 
lowing, Robert  C.  CoRN.'iLL,  who  had  been  one  of  its  vice-presi- 
dents, was  elected  to  the  vacant  seat,  "but,  even  in  the  hour  of 
his  election,  the  hatid  of  death  was  laid  upon  him,  and  the 
society  separated  with  congratulations  on  their  choice,  only  to 
have  their  second  bereavement,"  Mr.  Cornell  dying  a  short 
time  after  his  election.

of  years,  he  had  been  selected  to  deliver'  the  principal  address 
to  an  audience  composed  of  gentlemen  occupying  high  positions 
in  church  and  state  and  society,  of  teachers  of  the  deaf  from 
different  parts  of  the  country,  and  a  large  number  of  graduates 
of  the  institution.  By  the  4th  of  December,  1856,  the  new 
building  was  so  far  completed  as  to  justify  the  removal,  on 
that  day,  of  the  pupils,  then  numbering  three  hundred  and 
fifteen  souls,  to  their  new  house  on  the  banks  of  the  Hudson 
Kiver. 

The  grounds  occupied  by  the  institution  comprise,  at  the  pre- 
sent time,  about  twenty-six  acres,  and  are  located  on  the  Hud- 
son River,  at  Washington  Heights,  between  One  Hundred  and 
Sixty-second  and  One'  Hundred  and  Sixty-fifth  Streets.  The 
entrance  to  the  grounds  are  at  the  junction  of  Amsterdam  Ave- 
nue and  Kingsbridge  Road,  near  One  Hundred  and  Sixty- 
third  Street.  The  buildings  occupy  a  portion  of  the  lawn  at  an 
elevation  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-seven  feet  above  the 
-fronting  westward.

The  buildings — including  the  front,  wings,  and  school-house 
in  the  rear,  form  a  quadrangle  of  two  hundred  and  forty  feet 
front,  and  more  than  three  hundred  feet  in  depth.  Within  the 
quadrangle  is  a  fifth  or  central  building.  The  shops  and  other 
out  buildings  occupy  convenient  locations  to  the  north  and  east 
of  the  boys'  wing  and  school-house.  The  four  exterior  build- 
ino-s  have  eacli  four  stories,  including  the  basement — the  cen- 
tral  building  only  three— the  chapel  which  occupies  its  upper 
part  having  an  elevation  equal  to  both  the  upper  stories. 

The  front  building  is  one  hundred  and  fifty  feet  long,  by 
fifty-five  deep — besides  a  projection  of  twelve  feet  in  the  cen- 
tre, from  which  a  piazza  projects.  Entering  by  this  piazza, 
there  is  an  entrance  hall  of  twenty  feet  wide  and  forty  deep, 
terminating  on  the  great  staircase,  and  crossed  at  that  end  by 
a  corridor  of  ten  feet  wide,  which  runs  the  whole  length  of 
the  building,  one  hundred  and  fifty  feet.  There  are  cor- 
responding corridors  in  each  of  the  stories  above,  leaving 
the   rooms   on   each  side   twenty   feet   deep,  from   the   doors

each  extremity  of  the  corridors,  as  seen  in  the  plan,  hall* 
extend  to  the  connections  with  the  wings,  and  the  staircases^ 
in  tlie  towers. 

On  either  .ide  of  the  entrance  hall  is  a  reception  room  for 
vlsitorn,  and  a  director's  room.     The  hall  itself  is  lined  with 
cabinets  containing  valuable  mineralogical   and  conchological 
collections,  and  a  hne  exhibit  of  birds  and  curiosities  from  Cey- 
lon, the  islands  of  the  Pacific  and  the  north-west  coast,  with 
specimens    of    the    various    woods   originally   found   on   the 
grounds  of  the  Institution.     The  large  space  in  the   wall  near 
be  door  IS  occupied  by  Mr.  John  Carlin's  masterpiece,  which 
be  bequeathed   to    the    school.     In   the   reception    room   are 
eases  lor  the  library,  in  which  are  over  4000  volumes,  including 
one  of  the  finest  collections  of  works  on  the  Deaf  and  their  in 
stniction  in  existence.    On  the  same  floor  are  rooms  for  the  prin- 
o.pa  and  for  the  matron.     The  second  story  contains  rooms  for 
the  teachers  who  lodge  and  board  in  the  institution,  for  such 
visitors  as  may  have  claims  to  special  attention,  and  for  other 
purposes      In  the  upper  story  are  dormitories  for  the  pupils  of 
the  female  department,  and  the  hospital  for  ordinary  cases  of 
su-kness-a  special    building    for  contagious  diseases,  known 
as  the  (^ottage  Hospital,  near  Fort  Washington  Avenue,  is  far 
■vmoyed   from    the    main    buildings-the'  basement   of   this 
building  contains  rooms  for  domestics,  store-rooms  etc

S..V.  Entering  one  of  them  through  the  passage  or  halfleadiiig 
iioni  the  central  corridor,  you  find  on  the  first  floor  the  saloon 
or  sitting  room  for  tlie  pupils,  one  hundred  and  six  feet  bv 
lorty-two  in  clear  intci  ior  s])ace,  and  sixteen  feet  to  the  ceil- 
ing. In  these  spacious  and  lofty  rooms,  well  warmed 
."  winter,  and  well  ventilated  at  all  times,  the  pupils 
l.ave  seats,  tables  for  reading,  or  study,  or  composition,  in  the 
ovou.ng,  and  at  such  other  fragments  of  time  as  reading  and 
study  may  b^  order.  The  evening  li;  .^.t  here,  as  in  the'other 
rooms,  IS  turnished  by  gas. 

In  the  basement  of  the  wings  are  wash  and  bathing  rooms  • 
■n  the  second  story,  separate  dormitories,  wardrobes, ;tc.;  and 
".  the  upper  story  of  each  an  open  dormitory,  of  size  corre- 
HpoiKhng  to  the  sitting  room  below,  and  of  equal  height  In-

required  to  support  the  floors  in  rooms  of  such  dimensions,  the 
floor  of  the  dormitory  is  braced  up  by  trusses,  and  supports 
'the  floor  below  it  by  iron  rods.  By  this  expedient,  the  four 
•great  rooms,  the  saloons  below,  and  the  dormitories  above,  arc 
left  entirely  clear  of  pillars  or  supporting  rods.  Each  of  these 
four  rooms  has  a  clear  content  of  over  seventy  thousand  cubic 
feet,  which,  with  the  provision  for  the  renewal  of  the  air  by 
ventilation,  and  the  height  of  the  ceiling,  secures  to  each  pupil 
abundant  breathing  space  and  pure  air.  The  staircases 
in  the  towers,  afford  to  the  principal  and  matron  access 
to  the  apartments  of  the  pupils  under  their  care.  The 
main  staircases  to  the  dormitories  are  at  the  eastern  end  of 
«ach  wing,  and  to  give  every  guarantee  of  safety  in  case  of 
fire,  are  constructed  of  stone.  In  addition  to  this  the  main 
building,  with  the  adjoining  wings,  are  connected  by  an  im- 
proved system  of  fire  signals  centering  in  the  main  hall,  from 
whence  a  special  alarm  can  be  sent  at  a  moment's  notice  to  the 
■City  Fire  Department. 

The  Academic  Building  is  in  the  rear  of  the  main  building, 
and  is  one  hundred  and  fifty  feet  by  fifty-five,  containing  class, 
lecture,  library,  laboratory  and  cabinet  rooms,  with  the  art 
studio  and  necessary  ofticen.  Each  class  has  a  large,  lofty, 
well-lighted  and  well-ventilated  room,  of  an  average  size  of 
twenty  by  twenty-eight  feet.  In  the  bawement  of  this  build- 
ing, are  the  air  chambers  of  the  heating  and  ventilating  ap- 
paratus, store  roomss,  wash  rooms,  etc.  The  exterior  of  the 
building  is  furnished  wit\  an  elaborate  system  of  fire-escapes 
to  facilitate  safe  and  speedy  exit  in  case  of  necessity. 

The  central  building  contains  on  its  first  floor  the  dining- 
room,  under  which  in  the  basement  are  the  kitchens,  and  on  its 
second  floor  the  chapel,  eighty  by  sixty  feet,  and  over  thirty 
feet  high,  with  ten  lofty  windows.  It  is  also  ventilated  by  a 
large  skylight  in  the  roof.  At  the  east  end,  against  the  wall, 
is  the  platform,  raised  three  feet  above  the  floor,  for  the  ofli- 
ciating  teacher,  while  the  pupils  and  spectators  occupy  seats  ris- 
ing successively  one  behind  the  other.  As  the  worship  in  which 
the  deaf  and  dumb  can  share  must  be  addressed  to  the  eye  only, 
care  is  taken  that  every  eye  in  the  congregation  can  rest  with 
ease  on  the  platfo.  i,  and  that  the  light  should  be  thn  svn  that 
way.  It  will  be  seen  by  the  plan  that  the  pupils  have  access  to 
the  chapel  by  corridors  from  their  respective  sitting  rooms,  each

worship  in  the  language  of   gestures,  intelligible  to  all  the 
PupilH,  is  held  every  Sabbath.     Here,  also,  public  exercises  are 
old  on  certain  days  of  the  year. 

On  the  northern  boundary  of  the  grounds  is  located  the 
building  containing  the  shops,  erected  in  18G9,  and  containing 
trade  schools  for  instruction  in  printing,  carpentry,  cabinet- 
m.iking,  shoeraaking,  chair-caning  and  tailoring.  The  build- 
ing is  100  fe.  f  by  30,  presenting  three  stories  of  brick  above  a 
basement  o  ne,  and  its  construction  was  completed  at  a 
cost  of  nearly  $20,000. 

The  steam  apparatus  is  placed  in  a  separate  building,  at 
least  one  hundred  feet  fn.  a  the  main  buildings.  From  this 
boiler-house  steam  is  conducted  to  the  air  chambers  under  the 
school-house,  already  n^entioned.  In  this  room,  which  is  some 
twenty-one  by  thirty  feet,  and  sixteen  feet  high,  fresh  air 
IS  heated  by  the  steam,  and  then  distributed  by  the  action  of  a 
tan-blower,  through  air  chambers  and  flues  under  and  from 
beneath,  through  all  the  buildings.  Each  room  has  a  separate 
flue  connecting  with  the  air  passage  in  the  base  of  each  build- 
ing, and  a  separate  flue  to  carry  off  the  vitiated  air. 

From  this  sketch  of  the  internal  arrangements,  we  return  to 
the  external  features  of  the  main  building  as  it  now  appears. 
Ihe  basement  is  of  a  beautiful,  speckled-gray  granite,  from 
Neal  Harbor  Island,  Maine,  as  are  also  the  window  sills  and 
lintels.    The  upper  stories  are  indicated  by  courses  of  the  same 
material,  running  round  the  enti   >  building.      The  walls,  with 
the  exceptions  just  indicated,  are  of  brick,  as  equally  durable 
and  far  more  economical  than  stone  ;  and  to  save  the  expense 
ot  frequent  renewals  of  paint  or  stucco,  the  external  walls  are 
taced  with  yellow  Milwaukee  brick,  giving,  with  the  granite, 
an  agreeable  contrast  of  light  tints.     The  roofs  are  of  slate 
with  a  cornice  of  granite.     The  other  architectural  features  of 
the  buildings  will  appear  from  an  inspection  of  the  plans. 
Work  on  the  preparation  of  the  site  was  begun  in  the  sum-

New   York  Imtitiition  for  the 


mer  df  185'3.  Much  expense  and  delay  was  incurred  on  one 
part  of  the  site,  in  removing  a  vast  deposit  of  rock";  and  on 
another,  in  removing  a  quicksand,  the  place  of  which  had  to  be 
filled  up  with  concrete,  to  the  depth,  in  some  places,  of  eighteen 
feet.  There  being  a  water  front  to  the  property,  a  wharf  was 
built,  on  which  the  building  materials  were  landed  from  the 
river,  and  carried  up  the  hill,  at  first  by  teams,  on  a  graded 
road  ;  but  this  road  being  too  circuitous,  a  railroad  was  laid  on 
a  rapidly  inclining  plane  directly  down  the  face  of  the  hill,  up 
which  cars  loaded  with  brick,  stone,  lime,  etc.,  were  drawn  by 
stationary  steam  power,  at  a  great  saving  in  the  cost  of  trans- 
portation. The  buildings  were  put  up  chiefly  by  day  labor,, 
under  the  direction  of  competent  engineers  and  superintendents. 
The  cost  including  the  shops,  boiler-house,  and  steam  and 
warming  and  ventilating  apparatus,  exceeded  four  hundred  and 
fifty  thousand  dollars,  exclusive  of  the  cost  of  the  grounds. 

To  give  a  better  idea  of  the  magnitude  of  the  buildings,  we 
add  that  the  areas  of  the  several  flooi-s  in  the  five  main  build- 
ings is  very  nearly  three  acres ;  about  double  the  area  of  the 
buildings  on  Fiftieth  Street.  As  the  latter  were  found  capable 
of  comfortably  accommodating  from  220  to  240  pupils, 
these  buildings  can  afford  comfortable  accommodations  foi' 
at  least  5ft0  deaf-mutes,  with  principal,  teacher.s,  officers  and  the 
necessary  domestics. 

Two  years  after  the  opening  of  the  new  building.  Dr.  H.  P. 
Peet,  finding  that  his  new  field  of  operation  would  tax  to  the 
utmost  the  energies  of  his  life,  and  believing  that  the  interests  of 
the  institution  would  be  subserved  by  the  selection  for  president 
of  some  other  member  of  the  board,  resigned  that  office,  con- 
tinuing, however,  to  discharge  the  duties  of  principal,  which 
had   so  long  been   merged   in   those   of   president.     He    was 
succeeded  by  Bkx.tamin  R.  Winthrop,  Esq.,  a  gentleman  who 
had  for  many  years  taken  the  deepest  interest  in  the  institution, 
and  had,  as  one  of  the  directors,  contributed  very  greatly  to 
its   success,    by  generous  devotion,  without  compensation,  of 
time,  money  and  influence.     After  the  removal  of  Mr.  Win- 
THROP  to  France,  where  he  had  taken  up  his  permanent  resi- 
dence. Shepherd   Knapp,  Esq.,  a  gentleman  identified  with 
the  growth  and  progress  of  the  city  and  of  the  institution,  the 
oldest  living  director  except  Dr.  Peet,  was,  in  1869,  elected 
president.     He    was,    on    his    resignation    two    years    after,

affected  by  influences  likely  to  inflict  permanent  injury  upon 
their  morals  and  manners.  With  this  additional  provision,  the 
number  of  pupils  in  1867,  fifty  years  aftar  the  Institution  was 
founded,  amounted  to  439,  and  in  1870  to  616,  the  highest 
number  ever  reached.  From  which  time  the  number  has  de- 
creased, owing  to  the  establishment  of  seven  other  institutions 
for  the  deaf  in  the  State,  and  one  in  New  Jersey,  so  that  the 
attendance  at  this  writing  is  about  300. 

On  the  26th  of  June,  1866,  the  closing  day  of  the  academic 
year,  was  celebrated  the  semi-centennial  anniversary  of  the 
Institution.  There  were  in  attendance  a  great  number  of  in- 
vited guests,  among  whom  was  a  large  representation  from  the 
American  Asylum  at  Hartford. 

The  character  of  the  occasion  may  be  inferred  from  the 
following  order  of  exercises. 

1.  The  chair  occupied  by  Benjami.;  R.   Winthrop,   President  of  the 
Institution.

7.  Address By  Rev.  William  Adams,  D.D. 

8.  Other  Addresses. 

9.  Exercises  by  the  pupils. 
10.  Benediction. 

In  the  report  of  the  proceedings,  it  is  observed  that  "the 
interest  of  the  occasion  was  greatly  enhanced  by  the  fact  that 
Dr.  H.  p.  Pj:et,  after  more  than  thirty-six  years'  service  as  the 
head  of  the  Institution,  was  about  to  retire,  and  hence  his  ad- 
dress was  a  farewell.  His  son,  Isaac  Lewis  Peet,  LL.D.,  who 
had  been  for  fifteen  years  Vice- Principal  of  the  Institution,  had 
just  been  unanimously  elected  to  succeed  him." 

A  second  serai-centennial  celebration  was  held  by  the 
graduates  of  the  Institution,  on  the  occasion  of  the  second 
biennial  meeting  of  the  Empire  State  Association  of  Deaf- 
Mutes,  August  28th,  29th  and  30th,  1867.  At  this  remarkable 
gathering  were  assembled  about  five  hundred  deaf-mutes  from 
all  parts  of  the  country  as  guests  of  the  Institution,  probably 
the  largest  meeting  of  the  kind  the  world  ever  saw.  The 
event  of  greatest  interest  on  this  occasion  was  the  presentation 


Instruction  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb.  29 

to  Dr    HP.  Pket,  on   behalf  of  his  former  pupils,  of  a 
valuable  silver  plate. 

Though  Dk.  Pket  had  retired  from  the  active  duties  of  prin- 
cipal,  he  did  not  entirely  dissolve  his  connection  with  it  but 
continued  to  live  in  the  Mansion  House  on  the  grounds  with 
the  title  of  EmeHtus  Principal,  and  by  his  counsel  and  co- 
operation strengthened  t'.e  hands  of  his  successor  till  his  death 
which  took  place  on  the  Ist  of  January,  1873.  ' 

About  three  years  before,  had  occurred  a  change    in    the 
administration    of  the  Institution  which  was  the  result  of  a 


id  from  the 


sident  of  the

Still  f.nther  increase  of  pupils,  the  average  attendance  having 
reached  535.  The  Institution  was  diviled  into  two  co-equal 
clepartments,  one  of  which,  the  educational  department,  was 
placed  under  the  Principal,  and  the  other,  the  administra- 
nve  department,  was  committed  to  a  Superintendent. 
Ihe  first  superintendent  was  De.  Brooks,  who  had  acquired 
a  reputation  as  an  efficient  manager  of  an  Institution,  at  the 
New  York  Juvenile  Asylum,  of  which  he  had  been  superin- 
tendent. In  him  the  offices  of  superintendent  and  physician 
were  united.  He  retired  in  the  spring  of  1878,  and  was 
succeeded  by  William  Porter,  M.D.  The  Legislature  of 
18/4  removed  the  word  indigent  from  its  statute  book,  so  far

parents,  thus  removing  the  temptation  from  parents  to  abridge 
the  term  of  instruction,  either  by  deferring  sending  their 
children  to  school  too  late  or  by  removing  them  too  early,  as 
had  very  often  been  the  case. 

Dr.  Portkr,  after  ten  years  of  efficient  service  as  superin- 
tendent and  resident  physician,  retired  in  1883,  and  was 
succeeded  by  T)r.  James  C  Carsox,  who,  in  September,  1884, 
resigned  to  accept  a   more   lucrative   position   in    the    State's

service.  Dr.  George  S.  Knickerbocker  became  superin- 
tendent in  October,  1884,  but  resigned  in  June,  1885,  and  was 
succeeded  by  Mr.  Chauncey  N.  Brainerd,  who  had  been  con- 
nected with  the  Institution  for  eighteen  years  as  steward. 
As  superintendent,  Mr.  Brainerd  managed  the  administrative 
department  with  singular  ability  and  far-seeing  judgment  till 
his  retirement  in  February,  1893. 

One  effect  of  the  law  of  1863,  allowing  the  admission  of 
pupils  of  six  years  of  age,  was  largely  to  increase  the  propor- 
tion of  small  children,  and  it  became  necessary  to  classify  and 
separate  them  from  the  older  pupils.  ...

young  pupils  being,  thereafter,  domiciled  at  the  Mansion 
House  adjoining  the  Institution,  and  the  idea  of  removing  from 
the  present  site  being  permanently  abandoned. 

Following  the  custom  which  has  long  obtained  at  the  Insti- 
tution, of  having  the  school  represented  at  foreign  congresses 
of  Teachers  of  the  deaf,  the  Board  of  Directors,  in  addition  to 
appointing  the  principal  to  represent  the  school,  selected  two 
members  of  the  Board  as  special  delegates  to  the  International 
Congress  for  the  Amelioration  of  the  Condition  of  the  Deaf, 


REV.    CIIABLKh    A.    STODDARD,    D.D. 


held  in  Milan,  Italy,  September  0th  to  11th,  1880.  One  of  the 
gentlemen  thus  selected  was  the  Rkv.  Chablks  A.  Stoddard, 
D.D.,  the  present  first  Vice-President  of  the  Institution,  whoso 
report  of  the  work  of  the  congress  and  his  deductions  there- 
from is  appended  to  the  Sixty-Second  Annual  Report  of  the 
Institution,  for  the  year  1880.  In  the  same  publication  also  ap-

Thomas  Gaixaudet,  D.D.,  a  member  of  the  Board  and  like- 
wise a  delegate  to  the  Congress. 

At  the  New  Orleans  Exhibition,  held  in  1884-85,  the  Insti- 
tution presented  an  exhibit  consisting  of  contributions  by  the

Cor  the  deaf  in  various  parts  of  the  country  were  represented 
l.y  special  exhibits,  but  the  New  York  Institution  was  awarded 
the  diploma  for  excellence. 

On   August   23d  to  27th,    1890,  the  Twelfth  Convention  of 
American  Instructors  of  the  Deaf  and  the  First  International 
Convention  in  America  was  held  at  the  Institution,  the  three 
hundred  and  fifty  delegates  and  their  friends  being  entertained 
as  the  guests   of  the   Institution.     Forty  years  previous,  in 
August,  1850,  the  initial  convention  of  this  body  was  held  at 
the  Institution,  and  of  those  who  attended  the  first  gathering 
but  two  were  present  at  the  last,  Rkv.  Dr.  Thomas  Gallaudkt 
and  Dr.  Isaac  Lewis  Pkkt.     A  pleasant  feature  of  the  conven- 
tici  was  the  presentation  to  Dr.  Pkk^,  by  a  number  of  hif» 
former  pupils,  of  a  life-size  oil  portrait  of  himself,  and  which 
now  adorns  the  library  of  the  Institution. 

The  next  important  event  in  the  history  of  the  Institution 
was  the  retirement,  on  January  1st,  1893,  of  the  venerable 
Isaac  Lkwis  Pket,  LL.D.,  who  had  been  actively  encraged 
in  the  Institution  as  a  teacher  for  nearly  forty-eight  years 
the  last  twenty-five  as  Principal.  He  was  honored  by  the' 
Board  of  Directors  with  the  title  of  Principal  Emeritus 

His  mantle  fell  upon  Enoch  Henry  Currier,  M.A     who 
had  been  intimately  associated  with  him  for  nearly  twenty-one 
years,  and  was  thoroughly  prepared,  by  familiarity  with  the 
theory  and  practice  of  deaf-mute  education,  to  assume  tht  re- 
sponsible position  of  Principal.     Within  k  month  of  this  ap- 
pointment,   Professor  Currier,    as    Principal,    was   further 
honored  by  being  placed  in  sole  charge  of  the  institution,  the 
system    ot    double    responsibility,  which   had    obtained    for 
twenty-three  years,  being  finally  abolished.     The  Institution 
thus  resumes  its  earlier  organization  with  all  the  advantages 
of  possessing  at  its  head  a  man  fully  equipped  for  the  position. 
Ihe  system  of  instruction  in  use  is  known  as  the  Combined 
System,  in  contradistinction  to  all   such    systems  as  confine 
themselves   to  some  exclusive  method  of  expression.     Its  in- 
struments are  writing,  the  manual  alphabet,  pantomime,  si^ni- 
hcant  gestures  for  individual  words,  lip-reading,  articulation, 
and  grammatical  symbols,  and  the  special  training  afforded 
by  the  Kindergarten  drill  ;  consequently  the  system  is  eclectic.

symbols  invt'iitotl  by  tht'  hiti'  Prof.  F.  A.  P.  Harnard, 
when  he  waH  an  instructor  ia  the  Institution,  but  whose 
forms  and  applic^ation  have  since  Iwu-n  modified,  till  now  all  the 
grammatical  relations  in  a  ijroposition,  both  general  and  parti- 
cular, may  be  presented  to  the  eye  at  one  and  the  »ame  time. 
Jly  the  use  of  these  symbols,  the  construction  of  a  sentence 
may  be  clearly  unfolded  to  the  pupil,  so  that  he  will  under- 
stand it  readily,  and  vice  iwrmi,  he  is  enabled  to  construe  any 
passage,  so  as  to  show  his  own  knowledgi"  of  the  connection  of 
the  words. 

As  the  pupil  progresses  in  language,  arithmetic,  geography, 
history,  and  physiology,  the  natural  sciences  an<l  the  higher  stu- 
dies of  an  academic  course  are  gradually  introduced,  till  he  be- 
comes familiar  with  the  ordinary  branches  taught  in 
schools  for  the  hearing,  and,  when  hv  reaches  the  Academi- 
cal de|)artment  proper,  he  can  pursue  a  range  of  studies 
that  gives  elevation  ito  his  conceptions  and  inde[)endence  to  his 
modes  of  thought  and  expression.  In  this  course,  he  acquires 
a  knowledge  of  the  physical  sciences,  of  the  higher  mathematics, 
of  the  principles  of  rhetoric  and  logic,  and  even  of  mental  and 
nioral  philosophy. 

In  addition  to  this,  good  manners,  refinement  and  good 
taste,  are  carefully  inculcated  by  i)rece|»t  and  example.  In 
furtherance  of  this,  the  instruction  given  in  art  has  been  found 
to  be  invaluable.  All  the  pupils  receive,  each  week,  a  lesson 
in  drawing  from  the  object,  and  a  selected  number  have  special 
instruction  in  designing,  in  wood  carving,  in  clay  modeling,  in 
pla.ster  casting,  in  ihe  ornamentation  of  porcelain,  in  sketching 
from  nature  and  in  painting  in  oils  and  water  colors. 

The  system  of  lectures  by  signs  early  inaugurated  by  Dr.  II. 
P.  Pkkt,  has  been  continued  to  the  present  time,  and  is  car- 
ried out  in  turn  b^?^  all  the  gentlemen  employed  as  instructors. 
Great  use  has  boun  mad^  of  visible  illustration  in  connection 
with  the  lectures,  and  the  ordinary  exercises  in  the  class-room. 
The  Institution  has  aji  excellent  collection  of  minerals  and 
shells,  a  good  philosophical  apparatus,  and  satisfactory  models 
of  the  different  parts  of  tiie  human  body.  In  addition  to  these, 
the  fine  stcreopticon,  together  with  the  opaque  object  attach- 
ment and  the  microscope  attachment,  enable  our  pupils  to  re- 
ceive instruction  and   entertainment  almost  inexhaustible.

their  pirrents,  as  they  are  encourage.l  to  do,  in  the  ecclesiastical 
relations  they  form  either  in  the  vacations  or  after  thev 
pcrmanently    leave    the  institution. 

TI.e  subject  of  teaching  arti.ulation  to  the  mute,  and  lin- 
n-a.lnig  to  the  deaf,  has,  as  is  well-known,  engage<l  the  atten- 
Uon  of  the  directors  and  (,f  all  the  principals  of  the  institution 
I  lie  (pieslMuis  connected  with  it  were  at  one  time  regarde.l  as 
of  such    importance    that   the    R.v.    George    E.    Dav     D  D 
rornierly  a  teacher  in  this  institution,  but  now  a  piXsoi.  in' 
\  ale  college,  was  especially  intrusted  by    the  Jioard    on    the 
occasion  ot  two  separate  trips  to  Europe,  several  years  apart 
to  investigate,  first,  the  system  which  obtained  in  Germany' 
and  afterward  the  system  in  vogue  in  Holland.     The  letters  of 
uistrnction  he  received  from  Db.  If.  P.  Pkkt,  and  his  valuable 
and  exhaustive  reports  on  the  subject,  hold  a  most  important 
p  ace  in   the  literature  of  our  profession.     Not  content  with 
this,   however    Dh     Pket,   accompanied   by  his  son,    visited 
Kurope  himself,  and  spent  six  months  in  further  inquiring  into 
tlie  subject.  ^  ^ 

The  result  of  all  this  examination  and  study  is  that  articula- 
tion holds  a  high  place  in  our  estimation,  and  continues  to  be 
regarded  as  an  important  method  of  expression  which  it  is 
.los.rab le  to  confer  upon  all  deaf-mutes,  whenever  its  acquisi- 
tion will  not  require  such  an  excess  of  time  and  labor  as  to 
interfere  w.tli  their  progress  in  other  respects. 

In  the  year  1869,  a  class  was  organized  and  taught  by  the 
pure  oral  system  under  the  direction  of  Prof.  Bernhard 
Knglesman  who  had  but  recently  retired  from  the  principal- 
•sliip  of  a  school  which  he  had  founded  in  New  York  City  and 
winch  afterward  became  the  institution  now  known  as  the  New

I  rot  Weston  Jenkins  and  Prof.  Enoch  H.  Currikr,  but  it

tc  every  pupil  in  the  ItiBtitution,  making  the  acquisition  of 
language  dependent  upon  other  methods. 

For  semi-mutes,  however,  who,  having  heard  in  early  yer.rs, 
retain  more  or  less  of  the  spoken  language  of  childhood,  or  for 
the  semi-deaf,  who  possess  a  degree  of  latent  hearing,  sufficient 
to  warrant  aural  training  to  render  spoken  sounds  intelligible, 
too  juuch  stress  cannot  he  laid  upon  the  necessity  of  careful 
and  thorough  instruction  in  speech  and  speech  reading. 

The  last  named  subject  of  instruction — to  wit,  articulation- 
has  been  modified  by  one  of  the  most  interesting  discoveries 
in  tlie  history  of  deaf-mute  education.  At  the  instigation  of 
Mr.  Richard  S.  Rlioades,  of  Chicago,  we  experiment- 
ed with  the  audiphone  designed  by  him  to  enable  the 
deaf  to  hear,  through  bone  conduction,  sounds  in  the  air, 
not  addressed  to  any  one  individual  in  particular.  We  have 
also  used  the  rigid  metallic  ear  trumpet,  which  has  surprised 
deaf  perso-^s,  who,  without  it,  were  absolutely  unconscious  of 
ability  to  perceive  vbcal  sounds,  but  who  were  keenly  sensible 
thereof,  when  these  sounds  were  uttered  within  its  cavity. 
But  it  was  finally  reserved  to  Proiessor  Currier,  by  an 
independent  discovery,  to  show  that,  through  the  flexible 
ear  tube,  fifty  out  of  three  hundred  and  seventy,  or  a  little 
over  one-seventh  of  the  pupils  in  attendance  at  the  time  of  the 
investiiration,  were  not  onlv  able  to  hear  the  voices  of  others, 
hut,  for  the  first  time  in  years,  and,  in  most  cases,  in  their 
lives,  to  hear  their  own  voices. 

The  result  of  this  discovery  is  of  the  greatest  importance. 
It  is  not  sufficient  for  the  pupil  to  hear  what  is  said  to  him. 
He  must  also  hear  himself  say  the  same  thing.  In  practical 
instruction,  the  teacher  first  speaks  to  the  pupil,  through  the 
flexible  tube  inserted  in  his  ear,  and  then  requires  him  to 
transfer  the  mouthpiece  to  his  own  lips  and  repeat  the  words 
that  have  been  spoken  to  him.  This  enables  him  to  compare 
his  own  enunciation  with  that  of  his  instructor,  and,  after  re- 
peated trials,  to  imitate  it  with  an  approach  to  exactness.  But 
for  this,  he  would  be  entirely  dependent  upon  the  ear  of  his 
prer-eptor,  to  whom  he  would  have  to  look  for  information  as 
to  whether  he  was  speaking  correctly  or  not.  Now,  he  can  de- 
pend, in  great  measure,  upon  his  own  ear,  and  merely  ask  of 
his  teacher  that  he  repeat  his  words  a  sufficient  number  of  times 
to  enable  him  to  make  the  necessary  number  of  comparisons.

This  education  of  the  ear  and  of  the  voice  will  have  the 
effect  to  enable  a  certain  number  of  our  pupils  eventually  to 
take  their  place  in  the  society  of  the  hearing,-  and  to  converse 
with  all  individuals  who  may  have  the  kindness  to  address 
them  through  the  mouthpiece  of  the  tube.  Of  late  years  the  dif- 
ficulty involved  in  imparting  articulation  to  the  deaf  has  been 
diminished  by  an  invention  of  Professor  A.  Melville  Bell, 
which  has  been  introduced  into  this  country  by  his  son,  Dr. 
.A.  Graham  Bell.  This  consists  in  an  alphabet  of  sounds,  and 
indicates,  by  means  of  appropriate  symbols,  the  organs  of 
speech  employed  and  the  manner  in  which  they  are  aflPected  in 
utterance. 

One  great  advantage  is  that  the  pupil  not  only  easily  remem- 
bers, for  the  time  being,  what  he  is  taught  to  do  in  this  way, 
but  retains  it  so  long  as  he  keeps  the  symbols  in  mind.  In  this 
way  will  probably  be  obviated  the  great  di-awback  of  which 
the  old  writers  on  the  subject  complained,  and  which  is 
acknowledged  still  td  exist  by  their  modern  disciples— to  wit, 
that  the  pupils  are  apt  to  lose  their  spec'h  when  they  leave 
school. 

Our  pupils  are,  moreover,  encouraged  to  practice  constant 
reading.  There  are  now,  for  their  use,  in  the  library,  5,667 
bound  volumes  and  over  3,300  pamphlets.  Besides  these,  they 
have  the  use  of  twenty-three  folios  in  the  Mercantile  Library  in 
this  city,  the  institution  having  long  since  been  presented  with 
a  corresponding  number  of  shares  in  the  Clinton  Hall  Associa- 
tion, to  which  the  Mercantile  Library  is  indebted  for  its  build- 
ing. On  these  folios,  books  are  drawn  out  for  them  weekly  by 
the  librarian  of  the  institution. 

An  important  branch  of  instruction  afforded  by  the  Institu- 
tion deserves  more  than  passing  notice — the  class  of  blind, 
deaf  and  dumb  pupils.  In  the  fall  of  1874,  after  being  nearly 
three  years  in  school,  a  little  boy,  James  II.  Caton,  a  congeni- 
tal deaf-mute,  had  the  misfortune  to  contract  a  severe  illness, 
in  consequence  of  which  he  lost  the  sight  of  both  his  eyes. 
On  his  recovery,  after  the  lapse  of  a  year,  the  attempt  was 
made  to  continue  his  education  in  connection  with  one  of  the 
ordinary  classes,  the  teacher  giving  him  some  special  attention, 
and  supplementing  his  work  by  means  of  monitors.  This  did 
not  prove  satisfactory,  and  it  became  necessary  to  evolve  an 
entirely  new  method  of  instruction  for  this  special  case.     This 


Instrmtion  of  the  Heaf  ami  Dumb.  \\ 

was  accomplished,  and  the  work  of  instruction  was  carried  on 
through  the  sense  of  touch  alone,  by  means  of  the  manual 
alpliabet,  raised  letters  and  the  typewriter.  Young  Caton 
became  an  adept  in  the  use  of  the  typewriter,  and  made  really 
remarkable  advancement  in  the  use  of  correct  idiomatic  Eng- 
lish. In  addition  to  this,  he  made  rapid  progress  in  Arith- 
metic, Geography,  History,  and  all  the  studies  of  the  regular 
and  advanced  courses,  finally  graduating  with  honor  from  the 
High  Class. 

While  Caton  was  pursuing  his  studies  under  the  new  method 
another  blind,  deaf  and  dumb  boy,  and  a  girl  similarly  afflicted 
were  added  to  the  class-Jtidiard  T.  Clinton  and  Martha 
Moorehouse.  Clinton  was  twelve  years  of  age,  when  he  came 
to  school,  and  had  no  knowledge  whatever  of  language.  They 
pursued  the  same  course  as  was  used  with  Caton,°and  with  like 
success.  Since  then  the  class  has  been  continued  and  has  given 
the  blessing  of  education  to  seven  deaf,  dumb  and  blind  chil- 
dren, two  of  whom  are  now  under  instruction-Catharine  Me- 
Gnr  and  Orris  Benson— witb  a  fair  prospect  of  making  even 
greater  advancement  than  those  preceding  them  in  the 
class. 

Little  Benson  came  to  the  Institution  at  the  age  of  six,  and 
as  in  the  case  of  the  other  pupils  of  this  class,  had  no  know- 
ledge of  language,  or  anything  else.  His  case  seemed  more 
difficult  than  any  of  the  preceding,  as  his  extreme  youth  made 
it  necessary  to  place  him  among  the  younger  children,  and 
term,  as  it  were,  a  new  class  distinct  from  that  which  the  blind 
■  pupils  had  hitherto  been  placed.  However,  the  marvelous  pro- 
gress this  child  has  made  within  the  short  time  he  has  been  at 
school,  can  only  be  fully  appreciated  when  his  performances  in 
response  to  the  questions  and  directions  of  his  teacher  are 
witnessed. 

^ince  the  year  1S31,  great  importance  has  been  attached  to 
giving  our  pupils  a  knowleuge  of  some  handicraft,  by  means 
ot  which  they  may  support  themselves  in  after  life  The 
trades  at  present  taught  are  printing,  cabinet-making,  car- 
pentering, shoemaking,  tailoring,  baking,  gardening,  wood- 
earvmg,  chair-caning,  and  artistic  designinff,  for  the  bovs  • 
and  plain  sewing,  dressmaking,  shirt-m  .Un.?  and  cooking,  for 
the  girls.  ^ 

In  the  Academical  department,  into  which  enter  those  of  our 


42 


Kew   York  Inatitntion  for  the 


pupils,  who,  favored  by  the  possession  of  hearing  in  early 
childhood,  or  by  an  additional  period  of  three  years'  instruc- 
tion secured  by  law  to  thirty-six  selected  pupils,  have  at- 
tained a  higher  degree  of  advancement  than  falls  to  the  lot  of 
the  majority,  are  pursued  those  studies  which  characterize 
the  high  schools  of  the  State,  From  this  department  have 
graduated  many  deaf-mutes,  who  have  occupied  positions  of 
prominence  and  responsibility  in  various  avocations,  to  success 
in  which  they  have  attained,  in  spite  of  obstacles  that  would 
have  disheartened  them,  had  they  been  less  thoroughly 
trained.  In  its  proper  place,  in  the  statistics,  will  be  found  an 
illustrative  list  of  the  vocations  at  present  pursued  by  some  of 
our  former  pupils. 

With  these  advantages,  and  with  this  record,  the  institution 
offers,  to  the  parents  of  deaf-mutes,  the  prospect  of  a  good 
education  and  of  future  usefulness  and  happiness  for  the  chil- 
dren whose  calamity  they  have  so  much  lamented,  and  to  the 
State,  the  guarantee  !of  an  equivalent  for  the  means  so  willing- 
ly and  liberally  f urnishea  for  sustaining  our  work,  in  the  intel- 
ligent, prosperous,  law-abiding  citizens. 

The  following  lists  of  the  Presidents,  Principals  Superinten- 
dents, Librarians,  Professors  and  Teachers,  connected  with  the 
Institution  since  its  opening  in  1818,  together  with  statistics 
with  respect  to  the  number  of  pupils,  the  causes  of  deafness, 
the  success  with  which  our  pupils  have  met  since  leaving  the 
Institution,  and  other  tables,  are  fraught  with  much  interest. 

Though  the  causes  of  deafness  are  numerous,  it  is  fortunate 
that  means  have  been  found  to  mitigate  and  almost  neutralize 
the  effect  of  a  calamity  which,  but  for  this  and  kindred  Insti- 
tutions, might  well  be  regarded  as  appalling. 

The  total  number  of  different  pupils  who  have  been  under 
instruction  in  the  Institution  at  different  periods,  has  been 
3,345,  of  whom  1,113  were  known  to  have  been  born  deaf,  371 
were  believed  to  have  been  born  deaf — a  total  of  1484 — and 
1861  became  deaf  from  various  causes,  in  successive  periods, 
and  at  different  ages,  as  will  be  seen  in  the  tables  embracing 
these  subjects.

The  principleH  of  e<lucation  are  entirely  diflerent  in  those  rival

reHpective  languages.  Thin  has  been  occasioned  liy  national  prejudices  and

from  the  6ther.  By  the  French  method,  attention  is  exclusively  given  to 
the  improvement  of  the  mind  of  the  i)upil  and  extending  his  mental  con- 
ceptions to  the  highest  degree  of  expansion  and  communication  by  signs  as 
well  as  by  writing.  From  the  necessary  abstraction  from  other  subjects, 
except  the  one  immediately  exciting  attention,  we  may  reasonably  conclude 
that  from  minds  thus  improved  great  perfection  in  science  will  bt>  attained. 
Indeed  it  is  questionable  whether  more  sublime  ideas  have  ever  been 
expressed  than  those  communicated  in  writing  by  the  pupils  of  the  Abb6 
Sicard,  particularly  by  Cierc,  Massieu  and  Gard.

As  the  art  is  still  in  its  infancy  and  the  diflerent  systems  are  the  con- 
ceptions of  but  a  few  individuals,  let  us  now  promote  a  language  combining 
the  advantages  of  each,  „r  the  opportunity  will  be  forever  lost  of  establish-

to  promote  the  important  object.  With  this  view  I  should  decidedly  con- 
|>e,ve^any  attempts  at  introducing  Mr.  Gard  would   be  impolitic  and   pre- 

^Mr  Thompson's  wise  counsel  wiu.  followed,  and  the  citizens  of 
ni.ladeJphia    gave    their    undivide.l    support    to   the   school    at 


HartfoH.  No  steps  were  takeu  at  the  time  towards  the  fouuding  of 
a  school  in.  Pennsylvania,  and  the  establishment  of  the  Pennsyi- 
vania  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  the  third  oldest  in  the 
country*  and  now  admittedly  the  finest  and  most  complete  school 
for  the  deaf  in  die  world,  was  brought  about  in  an  altogether 
unlooked-for  way. 

There  were  quite  a  number  of  deaf  children  in  Philadelphia 
who  were  frequently  to  be  seen  wandering  about  the  streetii,  excit^ 
mg   by   their  neglected   appearance   and   uncouth   gestures  the 
laughter  and  ridicule  of  the  cruel  and  thoughtless,  and  the  interest 
and  compassion  of  the  benevolent.     To  one  man  in  Philadelphia 
the  miserable  condition  of  these  children  appealed  most  power- 
fully, and  led  him  to  perform  an  act  of  practical  philanthropy 
which  deserves  to  be  forever  held  in  grateful  remembrance.     This 
was  David  G.  Seixas,  an  humble  Israelite,  who  kept  a  little  crock- 
ery store  on  Market  street,  between  Sixteenth  and  Seventeenth 
streets.     Picking  up  on  the  streets  a  number  of  these  children  he 
clothed  and  fed  several  out  of  his  scanty  niean.s,  and,  with  other 
deaf  children  whom  he  induced  to  come,  in.structed  them  as  best 
he  could.     What  particular  method  of  instruction  he  pursued  is 
not  certainly  known.     He  was  doubtless  aware  of  the  main  inci- 
dents of   Laurent  Clere's  visit  to  Philadelphia,  if   he  was  not 
actually  present  at  the  public  meeting,  and  he  had  probably  read 
of  the  methods  of  instruction  pursued  at  Hartford,  of  accounts  of 
which  tlie  newspapers  of  the  day  were  full,  and  with  this  meagre 
knowledge,  supplemented  by  the  crude  .sign  language  which  hin 
ingenuity  devi.sed,  ho  was  able  to  begin  the  education  of  his  unfor- 
tunate charges.     The  little  school,  which  must  have  been  estab- 
lished late  in  1 819,  or  early  in  1 820,  had  eleven  pupils,  live  boys  and 
SIX  girls.     Notwithstanding  his  lack  of  experience  the  success  of 
Mr.  Seixas  must  have  been  considerable,  for  the  fame  of  the  little 
pchool  and  of  its  devoted  teacher  spread  rapidly  and  enlisted  the 
sympathy  and  support  of  the  philanthropic  i^ople  of  the  city. 

On  the  ninth  of  April,  1820,  several  prominent  citizens,  among 
whom  were  Roberts  Vaux,  Horace  Binney,  Clement  C.  Biddle 
Jacob  Gratz,  Dr.  N.  Chapman,  William  Wilkins,  of  Pittsburg,  and 
Joseph  Correa  de  Serra,  the  I'ortuguese  Minister,  met  Mr.  Seixas 
by  appointment,  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Vaux,  and  after  a  lengthy 
interview,  decided  to  call  a  public  meeting  to  consider  the  propriety 
of  establishing  an  institution  for  the  education  of  the  deaf  and  dumb.

duty  of  the  directors  for  the  lime  being  to  present  to  the  speaker  of  the 
Senate  and  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  respectively,  in  the  month  of 
December,  annually,  a  statement  of  the  funds  and  expenses  of  the  Institu- 
tion, and  of  the  number  of  children  received  and  educated  therein  during 
the  year  immediately  preceding,  and  of  the  parts  of  the  Stale  whence  they 
have  come,  distinguishing  between  those  who  have  been  supported  and 
educated  gratuitously,  and  others. 

Article  VIII.  Indigent  children,  resident  anywhere  within  the  Slate, 
shall  be  received  into  the  school  and  asylum,  maintained  and  educated 
gratuitously  so  far  as  the  fnnds  of  the  Institution  will  admit ;  Provided, 
that  when  more  children  shall  be  offered  for  the  benefit  of  this  Institution 
than  can  be  received  at  any  one  time,  the  president  and  directors  shall 
apportion  their  number  among  the  several  Counties  of  this  Commonwealth, 
according  to  their  representation  (when  application  shall  be  made)  that 
every  County  may  equally  receive  the  benefits  of  the  same. 

Article  IX.  The  number  of  officers  and  directors  may  be  increased  or 
diminished,  as  convenience  shall  require,  at  any  annual  meeting  of  the 
members  of  the  Institution,  notice  of  the  intended  alteration  being  pre- 
viously given,  and  twenty  members,  being  a  majority  of  the  members 
present,  consenting;  and  any  general  meeting  shall  be  competent  to  make, 
alter  or  repeal  by-laws,  rules  and  regulations,  twenty-one  members  being 
present  at  the  same. 

A  third  meeting  was  held  on  Wednesday  evening,  April  26 
when  the  following  officers  and  directors  were  elected :  President, 
Rt.  Rev.  William  White;  Vice-Presidents,  Robert  Patterson, 
Horace  Binney,  Roberts  Vaux,  Dr.  N.  Chapman  ;  Secretary, 
Henry  ,T.  Williams ;  Treasurer,  John  Bacon  ;  Directors,  William 
Meredith,  John  Vaughan,  Clement  C.  Biddle,  Jacob  Gratz,  J.  N. 
Barker,  General  T.  Cadwalader,  William  J.  Duane,  Samuel 
Archer,  Paul  Beck,  R.  Walsh,  Jr.,  Alexander  Henry,  Rev.  P.  F 
Mayer,  Dr.  William  Price,  Calender  Irwin,  Reuben  Haines,  Dr. 
Franklin  Bache,  Samuel  B.  Morris,  W.  W.  Fisher,  Benjamin 
Tilghman,  Caleb  Crosson,  William  Mcllvaine,  .Toseph  Gratz, 
Samuel  Canby  and  Samuel  R.  Wood. 

It  is  worthy  of  note,  as  illustrative  of  the  abiding  interest  which 
the  members  of  the  original  Board  took  in  the  welfare  of  the 
school,  that  most  of  them  continued  to  take  an  active  part  in 
the  management  of  the  Institution  to  the  time  of  their  deaths, 
and  that  many  of  them  are  represented  on  the  present  board  by 
descendants  in  the  third  generation. 

The  Board  of  Directors  appointed  a  committee  to  confer  with 
Mr.  S'eixas,  with  a  view  of  securing  his  services  as  teacher,  and 
another  committee  to  prepare  an  addreas  to  the  inhabitaute  of 
Pennsylvania,  setting    forth  the    objects  of  the  Instittition  and 


soliciting  pecuniary  ai.l     At  the  next  meeting  of  the  Board,  held 

salary  of  $1000  per  annum.  ^ 

Mr.  Seixa«  was  installed  aa  principal  on  May  16.  and  the  little 
class  met  for  the  time  beang  at  his  house.  On  May  25  a  public 
exhibition  was  given  at  Washington  Hall,  with  the  result  of  still 
further  awakening  public  interest  in  the  school.  The  number  of 
pupils  rapidly  increased,  substantial  assistance  was  accorded  the 
young  Institution  by  the  wealthy  and  philanthropic,  and  all  thing^ 
pointed  to  a  future  of  rapid  growth  and  great  usefulness  ^

an  exhibition  at  Harriaburg  before  the  members  of  the  Legisla- 
ture, and  as  a  result  an  act  incorporating  the  Institution  was  unani- 
mously passed  by  both  Houses,  and  received  the  approval  of  the 
Governor  on  February  8.  At  the  same  time  an  appropriation  of, 
$8000  was  made  to, aid  the  school,  and  the  State  Treasurer  was 
authorized  to  pay  $160  for  each  deaf  child  educated  therein,  the 
total  amount  so  paid,  however,  not  to  exceed  $8000.  The  term 
of  instruction  was  limited  to  three  years. 


IMVID  G.  SEIXAS, 
First  Principal  of  the  Institution. 

As  a  result  of  this  generous  assistance  from  the  State  the  attend- 
ance rapidly  increased,  and  before  the  end  of  the  year  the 
accommodations  on  West  Market  Street  were  found  insufficient. 
A  more  commodious  house,  on  the  corner  of  Market  and  Eleventh 
streets,  where  the  Bingham  House  now  stands,  was  accordingly 
leased  for  a  term  of  three  years.  In  May,  Charles  Dillingham,  a 
graduate  of  Williams  College,  was  appointed  a  teacher,  and  in 
September  his  sister.  Miss  Abigail  Dillingham,  who  had  been  a 
pupil  at  the  Hartford  school,  also  took  charge  of  a  class.  In 
March,  1822,  the  corps  of  instructor  was  further  increased  by  the 
addition  of  Abraham  J5.  Hutton,  who  thus   began   a  connection 


with  the  school  which  exteiule.1  over  a  period  of  nearly  fifty 
years,  and  terminated  only  with  his  death  ^ 

In  October,  1821,  Mr.  Seixas  retired  from  the  principalshin  of 
the  Inst.tut.on  With  some  difficulty  the  director'  of  th  Ameri- 
can Asylum  a  Hartford  were  induced  to  release  Laurenfcierc 
for  a  period  of  six  months,  and  he  was  placed  in  charge  of  the

Under  Mr.    Weld's  able   inunagemeiit   the  school   pntepered 
greatly.     The  number  of  pupils  steadily  increased  and  before  the 
expiration  of  the  lease  it  became  evident  that  the  accommodations 
i-t  Elfcv«nth  and  Market  streets  were  inadequate  and  that  more 
cowraodious  quarters  must  be  sought.    In  1824  a  site  at  the  north- 
west comer  of  Broad  and  Pine  streets  was  secured  and  here  was 
erected  the  central  portion  of  the  buildings,  which,  with  numerous 
additions  and  alterations,  were  to  be  the  home  of  the  Institution 
for  nearly  seventy  years.     The   new   building  was   occupied   in 
December,  1825,  and  on  December  30  following  a  reception  was. 
held,  at  which  there  was  a  large  attendance  of  distinguished  people. 
An  eloquent  address  was  made  by  the  principal,  Mr.  Weld,  and 
an  exhibition  waa  given  of  the  attainments  of  the  pupils.

The  new  building  afforded  room  for  a  much  larger  number  of 
pupils  than  before,  and  in  1827,  provisions  having  been  made  by 
the  State  Legislature,  the  Institution  began  to  receive  the  indigent 
deaf  children  of  Maryland.  At  a  later  period  the  State  of  Dela- 
ware made  provisions  for  the  education  of  its  deaf  children  in  this 
Institution. 

In  1828  the  lustitutio.M  acquired  the  entire  block  bounded  by 
Broad,  Pine,  Fifteenth  and  Asylum  st  ets.  In  1832  a  school 
hou.se  was  erected  in  the  rear  of  the  main  building,  thus  consider- 
ably increasing  the  facilities  of  the  Institution.

In  lem  than  five  years  the  building  was  crowded  to  its  iitmoBt 
capacity,  and  in  1859  the  board  of  directors  came  to  the  conclu- 
sion that  it  would  be  advisable  to  sell  the  property  at  Broad  and 
Pine  Btreetfl  and  secure  a  site  in  the  country,  but  within  easy 
reach  of  the  city.    This  step  was  all  the  more  desirable  because 
the  property  of  the  Institution,  although  originally  on  theoutskirtH 
of  the  city,  was  now  rapidly  being  surrounded  by  new  streets  and 
dwellings.    The  civil  war,  however,  with  its  disastrous  effects  upon 
the  financial  condition  of  the  country,  prevented  the  sale  of  the 
property  on  advantageous  terms,  and  the  design  was  abandoned 
for  the  time  being.     However,  the  desirability  of  a  location  in  the 
country  was  not  lost  sight  of  and  in  subsequent  years  various 
plans  for  eflecting  a  removal  were  brought  forward.    During  the 
trying  times  of  the  war  the  demands  for  admission  decreased  some- 
what, although  still  exceeding  the  ability  of  the  Institution  to  grant,

and  this  furnished  an  additional  reason  for  deferring  action  in  the 
matter,  at  that  time  at  least.  The  State,  however,  voluntarily  in- 
creased the  per  capita  appropriation,  in  view  of  theiincrease  in  the 
coat  of  the  neceesaries  of  life,  and  it  was  decided  to  slightly  enlarge 
the  buildings.  In  1863,  therefore,  an  additional  storylwas  added 
to  the  two  wings  in  the  rear. 

On  July  18,  1870,  the  Institution  suffered  the  loss  of  ite  able 
and  devoted  principal,  Abraham  B.  Hutton.  Mr.  Huttouldied 
at  Stuyvesant,  N.  Y.,  while  on  a  visit  to  his  sister.  Joshua  Foster, 
who  had  been  a  teacher  in  the  Institution  for  upwards  of  thirty 
years  was  appointed  to  succeed  him. 

The  fifteen  years  of  Mr.  Foster's  principalship:  may  be  termed 
the  transition  period  of  the  Institution.  While  not  itself  marked

Church  in  the  morning,  and  in  the  afternoon  a  meeting  was  held  at 
Rev.  Dr.  Wylie's  church  on  Broad  Street,  opposite  the  Institution. 
Addresses  were  delivered  by  Thomas  Jefferson  Trist,  John  Car- 
liii,  Joseph  O.  Pyatt  and  others.  The  exercises  of  the  day  con- 
cluded with  a  reception  and  banquet  at  the  Institution  in  the 
evening.  Some  three  hundred  graduates  were  present  on  this 
interesting  occasion,  and  as  a  result  of  the  gathering  a  fine  oil 
portrait  of  Lewis  Weld,  painted  by  John  Carlin.  one  of  the  grad- 
uates, was  presented  to  the  Institution. 

In  spite  of  repeated  enlargements,  in  1875  it  was  found  neces- 
sary to  adopt  some  means  to  increase  the  capacity  of  the  Institu- 
tion, the  number  of  pupils  at  that  time  being  225,  and  the  num- 
ber of  applications  for  admission  being  far  beyond  the  ability  of

the  Institution  to  accept.  Efforts  had  been  made  in  vain  to  ob- 
tain a  suitable  site  in  the  suburbs,  and  the  city  of  Philadelphia 
had  been  appealed  to  without  avail  to  donate  a  site,  and  the 
Board  of  Directors  therefore  concluded  to  enlarge  the  existing 
edifice.  The  fine  brick  structure  occupying  the  whole  western 
half  of  the  Institution  property  and  containing  ample  play-rooms 
and  dormitories  and  numerous  school-rooms,  was  accordingly 
erected.     This  improvement  increased  the  capacity  of  the  school 

to  350. 

In  July,  1876,  the  convention  of  the  American  Instructors  of 
the  Deaf  and  Dumb  met  at,  and  was  entertained  by,  the  Insti- 
tution. 


l<or  a  considerable  period  the  Board  of  Directors  had  been 
con.denng  the  advisability  of  opening  a  day-school  in  Ine " 
tK,n  with  the  Institution  for  the  benefit  of  deaf  children  rSng 
n    he  immediate  neighborhood  of  the  Institution.    It  wrhoped

modations would  be  required  only  during  school  hour.   wouTd

t.on  of  the  deaf  children  of  the  city.    In  1871  an  inquh-™

be  wilhng  to  send  them  to  such  a  school.     The  number  Zl

small  however,  that  the  project  was  temporarily  abandoned 
though  not  lost  sight  Of.  In  1881  the  day-school  was  fina  ly 
opened  at  Seventeenth  and  Chestnut  street.,  under  charge  of  Miss 
Emma  Garrett,  who  had  been  in  the  employ  of  the  Institution  ^ 
teacher  of  articulation  for  some  time.  The  method  of  instruction 
adopted  was  what  is  known  as  the  "pure  oral."  The  oric^i 
nal  nitention  had  been  to  make  room  for  the  day-s.hool  at  Broad 
and  Pme  streets,  but  on  account  of  the  difference  of  the  methods 
pursued  an  entire  separation  of  the  two  schools  was  deemed 
advisable.  ■t^w.cu 

The  history  of  oral  teaching  in  the  Pennsylvania  Institution  for  the 
Deal  and  Dumb  is  at  once  peculiar  and  interesting.     The  system  of 


'9 


instruction  originally  adopted  by  the  Institution  was  the  manual 
or  Sicard  system,  and  for  half  a  century  the  employmenfof  no  other 
was  attempted.  There  are  indeed  vague  hints  of  efforts  to  preserve 
and  cultivate  the  speech  of  such  semi-mutes  as  retained  some 
power  of  articulation,  but  no  systematic  instruction,  as  we  now 
understand  it,  was  undertaken.  In  1870,  however,  the  Board  of 
Directors,  impressed  by  the  reports  of  the  success  of  speech  teach- 
ing that  reached  them,  sent  a  committee  consisting  of  F.  Morti- 
mer Lewis,  James  J.  Barclay,  and  the  principal,  Joshua  Foster, 
to  inspect  the  Clarke  Institution  at  Northampton,  Mass.,  and  the 


JOSHUA  FOSTKR, 
Principal,  1870  1884. 

articulation  departments  of  the  Hartford  and  New  York  Institu- 
tions. This  connnittee  was  so  favorably  impressed  that  upon  its  re- 
turn it  recommended  that  arrangements  be  at  once  made  for  giving 
instruction  in  articulation  to  all  semi-mute  and  semi-deaf  children. 
Miss  Rebecca  Cropper  was  sent  to  New  York  for  instruction  under 
Professor  Bernard  Engelsmann,  and  upon  her  return  was  placed  in 
charge  of  the  articulation  class.  In  1876  Mr.  Edward  Crane,  a 
pupil  of  Alexander  Graham  Bell,  was  placed  at  the  head  of  the 
articulation  department.  The  success  attending  this  form  of 
instruction  was  so  marked  th.it  the  Board  was  led  to  consider  the 
advisability  of  introducunr   separate   oral    im^trut'tion    for  sudi 


|>..p  Is  as  retained  a  considerable  command  of  speech,  and,  inci- 
dentally, as  a  means  of  testing  the  practicability  of  teaching 
speech  to  the  congemtally  deaf  When,  therefore,  the  day-scS 
was  estabhshed  it  was  decided  to  employ  the  oral  method  exl 
..vely  Instruction  in  articulation  at  Broad  and  Pine  streets  wl

The  growth  of  the  "day-school"  was  rapid.      Li   1883  the 
a  tendance  was  70.  and  nine  teachers  wore  einploved.     Early  in

were  found  to  be  inadequate  and  .the  school  was  removed  to  a 
larger  house  at  the  corner  of  Eleventh  and  Clinton  streets.  The 
experiment  of  a  day-school  did  not  prove  as  satisfactory  as  had

been  anticipated,  and  in  1885  it  became  a  boarding-school  and 
was  known  thereafter  as  the  Branch  for  Oral  Instruction       ' 

A   the  mam  Institution  an  experimental  chi«s  was  formed  in 
winch  the  children   were  taught  in  the  school-room  by  spee  h 

ch.hhen  out  of  school.     A  second  class  for  this  species  of  instruc 
tion  was  subsequently  formed.     Thus  the  Institution  had     ™

h  same  time  and  it  wa.  upon  the  practical  results  obtained  and

speech  teaching  was  based.  In  1887  it  was  determined  to  fscon-

in  a  pure  oral  department,  and  a  pniall  oral  class  in  connection 
with  the  manual  department. 

In  July.  1884,  the  principal,  VTr.  Foster,  resigned  the  position 
which  he  had  so  long  and  so  honorably  filled,  and  A.  L.  E. 
Crouter,  who  for  a  year  preceding  had  acted  as  vice-principal,  and 
who  had  been  a  teacher  in  the  school  since  1867,  was  appointed 
his  successor. 

The  first  year  of  Mr.  Crouter's  administration  was  marked  by 
several  important  changes  and  improvements.  The  Oral  Branch 
was  enlarged  so  as  to  accommodate  one  hundred  pupils,  thus  making 
it  one  of  the  largest  oral  schools  in  the  country,  the  co-education 
of  the  sexes  in  the  classes  was  begun  and  gradually  extended  to

the  entire  school,  and  new  industries  were  introduced  in  the  indus- 
trial department. 

In  1888  the  educational  work  at  the  main  Institution  was  div  ided 
into  two  departments,  the  primary,  under  F.  W.  Booth,  as  chief 
instructor,  and  the  advanced,  under  the  immediate  charge  of  the 
principal. 

In  1889  it  became  evident  that  a  new  site  for  the  Institution 
must  be  sought  at  once.  The  accommodations  both  at  the  main 
Institution  and  at  the  "Oral  Branch"  were  entirely  inadequate,  and 
it  was  felt  that  the  wisest  plan  was  to  remove  the  Institution  to  a 
suburban  point,  where  greater  healthfulness  could  be  secured  and 
where  there  would  be  ample  room  for  future  growth.  From  the 
time  of  its  orgatiization  the  Institution  had  been  the  recipient  of

The  plan  upon  which  the  new  Institution  was  built  was  the  result 
f  careful  consideration  of  the  advantages  of  the  var  I '  Z  f 
budchng  adopted  for  large  public  institutions,  and  equ    ly  careV  f 
^tenfontotheneedsof  the  peculiar  work  carried  on  W  heschi 

of  building.     At  the  outset  it  was  evident  that  the  pron^nence 
g  ven  to  separate  oral  instruction  denianded  a  general EoT  J 
the  pupds  into  two  parts,  the  manually  and  the  orallvt!™ 
w^^ulsodesu-able  that  there  should  be  such  flexibilit; 'of  nhu 
that  changes  in  the  relative  number  in  the  two  divisionf  migh't  be 


readily  imule  should  circunistiuifes  so  di'iiiaiid.  Tlio  rcciuinMiieiits 
to  be  met  were,  therefore,  first,  a  jf^iieral  division  of  the  two  sys- 
tems of  teachiii„' ;  secondly,  a  separation  of  the  younger  from  the 
older  pupils;  thirdly,  in  each  of  these  sectiims,  a  division  by  sex, 
and  finally,  in  each  of  thes  (VivjH.aiii  >  uts,  a  stiil  further  division 
into  small  groups  and  fiuniili  s  to  r:i'ilitate  supervision. 

It  was,  therefore,  decided  to  erect  four  departnient  buildings,  to 
be  known,  for  the  present  ut  least,  as  the  advanced,  intermediate, 
primary  pud  oral  departments,  each  complete  in  itself,  with  its  own 
dining-rooms,  dormitories,  assembly  rooms,  play  grounds,  etc.,  and 
with  its  own  school-house  in  the  rear.  Tlic  vH.;.i  u  plan  of  all  these 
department  buildings  is  the  same.  Each  consists  of  a  central  por- 
tion, containing  the  dining-room,  assembly-hall,  office  and  recep- 
tion room,  parlor,  kitchen,  etc.,  and  on  opposite  sides  of  this  there 
are  wings  for  the  nuile  and  female  pupils.  In  the  wings  there  are 
[)rovisions  for  separating  the  older  pupils  from  the  younger,  thus 
dividing  them  into  groups  and  greatly  facilitating  overeight  by  the 
ofliceis.  Th(!  assembly-room  on  the  second  floor  of  each  de- 
partment building  is  connerted  with  the  school-house  in  the  rear 
by  a  coven>d  bridge,  and  this  latter  is  entirely  given  up  to  school 
purposes.  Around  these  four  department  buildings  are  grouped 
an  administration  building,  conttrning  the  general  asseml)ly-hall 
of  tlu!  Institution,  the  gen<n-al  library,  board-rooms  and  offices ;  a 
gymnasium  ;  an  industrial  building,  where  under  one  roof  all  tlic; 
varied  industries  taught  by  the  school  may  be  gathered,  and  fin- 
ally, a  boiler  and  dynamo  house,  connected  with  all  the  other 
buildings  by  tunnels,  and  supplying  them  with  power,  light  and 
heat.  The  excellent  view  of  the  buildings  and  grounds  of  the 
Institution  on  the  (yjjposite  page  gives  a  better  idra  f  their  beauty 
and  completene.--;  than  any  written  description. 

On  October  8,  1892,  three  of  the  four  department  l)uildin"g3 
and  the  boiler  and  dynamo  house  were  formally  (jpened  in  the 
presence  of  a  distinguisluid  L;athering  of  prominent  jwople.  Ad- 
dresses appropriate  to  the  occasion  were  made  by  George  Gilpin, 
Rev.  Dr.  Joseph  A.  Seiss,  Principal  A.  L.  E.  Crouter,  President  E. 
M.  Gallaudet,  Dr.  A.  (J.  Bell  and  Dr.  Isaac  L.  Peet.  On  Novem- 
ber 18,  the  scliool  reopened  in  its  new  home.  At  the  present 
writing  the  industrial  building  is  rapidly  approaching  completion, 
and  the  Board  of  Directors  only  awaits  a  favoral  !e  opportunity 
to  carry  out  the  other  details  of  the  plan. 

Thus  very  nearly  upon  the  completion  of  thr^r  quarters  of  a  cen- 
tury of  faithful  and  successful  work  the  Institution  enters  upon  a  new 


era  with  enlarged  facilities  and  with  a  future  brightened  by  the 
prospect  of  a  constantly  expanding  field  of  usefulneos  and  the 
promise  of  grander  achievenienta  in  its  noble  and  disinterested 
work.  With  the  oj)ening  of  this  era  this  brief  history  appr.)- 
priately  ends. 

A  sketch  of  the  Institution  would  be  incomplete,  however,  with- 
out some  reference  to  the  nature  of  its  educational  work.  We 
cannot  enter  into  the  details  of  the  methods  of  teaching  en.- 
ployed,  but  a  brief  outline  will  give  an  idea  of  the  extent  and 
thoroughness  of  this  instruction. 

The  work  of  the  school  may  be  broadly  divided  into  manual 
and  oral.     In  the  oral  department  the  instruction  is  wholly  bv 
speech.    Signs  are  entirely  discarded,  and  as  far  as  possible,  pro- 
hibited, the  aim  being  to  make  speech  and  speech-reading,  supple- 
mented by  writing,  the  sole  means  of  instruction  and  communica- 
tion.    In  the  manual  department  the  instruction  is  by  means  of 
English,  either  spellal  or  written,  the  use  of  signs,  although  not 
forbidden  to  the  pupils  as  a  means  of  intercommunication,  being 
reduced  to  a  minimum,  fai.d  every  encouragement  being  given  to 
the  pupil  to  substitute  for  them  either  writing  or  spelling.     In 
other  respects  the  general   methods  of  development  in  the  two 
departments  are  similar,  action  writing,  picture  writing,  and  the 
interrogative  method  of  testing  and  adding  to  information  being 
largely  relied  uiion  for  purposes  of  language  teaching  and  mental 
development.     The  work   in    both  departments  is  divided  into 
primary  and  advanced  stages,  the  former  covering  the  first  four 
and  the  latter  the  last  six  years  of  the  term  of  instruction.     In 
the  former,  attention   is  devoted  principally  to  developing  tiie 
faculties  and  imparting  knowledge,  and  in  the  latter  stage  the 
elements  of  a  common  school  education  are  imparted.     The  ulti- 
mate ends  of  oral  and  manual  training  are  similar,  the  aim  being 
to  give  a  good  English  education  and  to  prepare  for  college  those 
who  may  desire  to  pursue  a  higher  course  of  instruction. 

The  history  of  the  Institution  has  been  marked  by  the  readi- 
ness displayed  by  the  Board  of  Directors  to  adopt  every  improve- 
ment that  gave  reasonable  promise  of  benefit  to  the  pupils.  This 
has  been  especially  true  in  regard  to  methods  of  Instruction,  and 
while  always  conservative  in  its  policy,  the  institution  has  kept  fully 
abreast  of  contemporary  progress.  The  method  of  instruction  at 
first  adopted  was  the  manual  or  Sicard,  and  as  no  evidence  wa-* 
brought  forward,  in  this  country  at  least,  to  dispute  its  claim  to 
superiority,  it  was  conscientiously  and  zealously  pursued.     When, 

a6 


liowever,  the  success  of  methods  of  teaching  the  deaf  speech  and 
by  Hpeech  was  detnonstrated,  they  were  at  ouce  introduced  into 
the  Institution  and  subjected  to  a  practical  test  under  tlie  eyc8 
of  the  Board  of  Directors.    Satisfactory  as  the  results  were  no 
undue  haste  waa  displayed  to  extend  the  scope  of  oral  teaching  until 
it  waa  demonstrated  beyond  question  that  a  much  larger  per  cent- 
ago  of  the  deaf  could  profit  by  oral  teaching  than  was  generally 
supposed.     Then,  very  gradually,  oral  teaching  was  extended,  and 
at  the  present  time  the  Institution  is  slowly  and  carefully  advanc- 
ing to  that  mean  between  systems  and  methods    which  shall 
assure  to  each  and  every  pupil  the  greatest  possible  measure  of  bene- 
fit.    I  cannot  better  describe  the  aim  of  the  Institution  in  this 
respect  than  by  quoting  from  the  able  address  of  the  principal, 
Mr.  Crouter,  on  the  occasion  of  the  opening  of  the  new  buildings' 
of  the  Institution  at  Mt.  Airy  : 

"In  the  pursuit  of  its  object  this  Institution  recognizes  al!  methods  of 
Mitnowledged  educational  value;  in  the  instruction  of  its  pupils  it  employs 
that  method  that  promises  most  benefit  to  the  child.  May  it  be  taught  to 
ipeak,  It  insists  upon  the  use  of  pure  oral  methods.  Should  results  not 
seem  to  justify  the  prolonged  employment  of  such  means  they  are  discon- 
tinued and  the  instruction  of  the  child  is  carried  forward  by  manual  methods 
-spelling,  writing,  picture-reading  and  signs.  It  is  believed  that  in  pursu- 
ing this  course  the  great  end  and  aim  of  the  Institution  may  best  be  sub- 
served, and  the  welfare  of  every  pupil  best  be  promoted.  It  is  but  right  to 
mention  in  this  connection  thai  the  work  of  the  school  is  tending  mere  and 
more  toward  oral  methods,  and  that  all  pupils  who  come  to  us  hereafter 
metL^^  "        ''""  °^  '''^  Directors,  have  opportunity  of  profiting  by  that 

As  at  present  organized  the  intellectual  work  of  the  Institution  is  con- 
ducted ,n  an  oral  department  in  which  fully  forty  per  cent  of  the  attend- 
ance share  in  the  benefits  of  oral  methods,  and  in  a  manual  deparm.ent. 
eubdivided  into  primary  and  advanced  sections,  wherein  the  instrucii„n  of 
the  remainder  Is  carried  on  by  manual  methods.  Shall  the  oral  department 
increase  until  it  absorbs  the  whole  or  greater  part  of  the  manual  depart- 
ment? Results  alone  must  answer  that  important  question.  Certain  it  is 
that  whatever  method  accomplishes  most  for  the  culture  and  well-beinK  of 
our  pup.  s  the  Board  of  Managers  wyi  not  hesitate  to  adopt  and  cnrry  for- 
ward  with  the  utmost  diligence  and  zeal.

debates  and  vanoiis  other  features  of  a  literary  character.     The 
influence  of  these  societies    has  been  most  beneficial.     Frequent 
lectures  on  instructive  and  interesting  topics  are  given   by  the 
teachers.     Each  department  has  a  large  library  for  the  use  of  the 
pupils,  supplied  with  a  variety  of  the  best  literature  suited  to  their 
years  and  advancement.     The  reading  matter  is  further  supple- 
mented by  the  efforts  of  the  pupils  themselves,  who  have  formed 
reading  clubs  and  have  subscribed  for  the  best  periodical  litera- 
ture of  the  day.     Social  reunions  of  the  pupils  of  the   various 
departments  are  held  occasionally,  when  they  are  given  an  oppor- 
tunity of  mingling  with  the  opposite  sex.     In  every  way  an  effort

is  made  to  reduce  the  isolation  inseparable  from  the  lo&s  of  hear- 
ing and  the  monotony  of  institution  life  to  a  minimum. 

The  industrial  training  afforded  by  the  Institution  constitutes  an 
important  part  of  its  educational  work.  From  the  very  establish- 
ment of  the  school  instruction  in  various  industries  has  been 
given.  In  the  first  report  of  the  Institution  (1823)  it  appears  that 
provisions  were  made  for  teaching  the  pupils  cabinet  making, 
shoeraaking,  coopering  and  wer  ;ing.  In  subsequent  years  the 
trials  and  difficulties  encountered  renrlered  it  impossible  for  the; 
Institution  to  give  this  department  of  its  work  the  attention  that 
it  deserved,  but  at  no  time  was  it  entirely  neglectod.  For  the 
past  ten  years  instruction  in  printing,  tailoring,  shoemakiiiir.

bias,  those  broad  moral  and  rcligioii.s  principles  upon  which 
Christianity  is  based.  No  attempt  at  theological  discussion  or

oversight  and  the  most  earefid  supervision.  They  liave  exe-

The  results  of  the  .s(>venty-five  yea.-s  of  the  Institution's  laboiv 
are  best  observed    in    its  graduates.     During   this   perio.1   ;]()00 
children  have  been  ui.der  instruction,  and  the  great  majoritv  of 
them  have   become   intelligent,  industrious   and   self-suijpor'tin- 
citizens  of  the  commonwealth,  amply  justifying  the  expenditure 
which  the  fetat.'  luis  mad<'  on  their  account.     A  number  (.f  them 
luiv<.  graduated  from  the  National  Deaf  Mute  (College  at  Wash- 
ington, and  have  taken   high  rank,  both   for  scholarship    and 
uprigiitness  of  character.     Many  of  th(>  graduates  have  become 
teachers  of  the  deaf,  and  have  lent  their  best  efforts  to  the  further- 
ance of  the  noble  work  to  which  they  themselves  are  so  deeplv 
indebted.     Ihere  has  scarcely  been  a  time  in  the  Institution's  his- 
tory when  there  have  not  been  several  graduates  on  its  staff  of 
teachers.     Among  those  who  devoted  long  and  useful  lives  to  the 
service  ol    the  Institution  may  be  named    James  C.   Murtauh 
Joseph  O.  Pyatt  and  Thomas  Jeffei-son  Trist.  "  ' 

Aside  from  these,  and  from  those  who  have  found  honorable  and 
useful  fields  of  activity  in   the  varied  industries  of  our  <nvnt 
State,  th(>  Institution  can  point  with  pride  to  graduates  who  have 
taken  a  high  i^osition   in  the  artistic  and  technical  pursuits  to 
ministers    of  the  gospel,  teachers,    clerks,  merchants,  etc     etc 
Among  Its  grmluatas  may  be  named  Albert  Newsam,  admitted  to 
have  been  the  most  skilful  lithographer  of  heads  of  his  day 
and  John  Carlin,  a  portrait  and  landscape  painter  of  great  merit' 
To  have  raised  such  a  great  number  of  human  beings  from  a  con- 
dition of  utter  mental  darkness  and  helplessnass  into  useful  and 
intelligent  citizens  is  much;  but  to  have  enabled  them  to  rise  to 
positions  of  honorable  distinction  among  their   more  fortunate 
fellow-beings  is  worthy  of  the  highest  prr  ise  and  deepest  admira- 
tion.

which  operation  it  caught  tire  from  the  carelessness  of  n.

is  the  only  fire  of  consequence  that  has  occurred  in  the 
buildings  of  the  Institution  since  its  establishment. 

Under  the  able  , administration   of  Mr.     Jacobs    tin- 

Institutioji  continued  to  prosper.     The  number  of  pupils 

steadily  increased,  and  additions  were  made  to  the  corj.s

ing nouth  of  the  InKtitntion  garden  and  adjoining  tlie 
cow  |)aHture  were  bought  for  1^8,801.  Thiw  [(nrehasc 
was  iMjide  to  get  more  pasture  for  the  coww,  hnt  unx-e 
especially  to  get  poHse«sion  of  the  never  failing  Mi)riii«r, 
which  offers  an  abundant  HU(>ply  of  pure  water  for  ilie 
Block.  About  a  year  after,  the  Yieserproperty  whieli  lay 
immediately  south  of  thegirls'  building,  containing  Home 
four  and  a  half  actea  was  purchased  for  1^4,750  in  order 
to  prevent  iti*  being  sohl  oft' to  undesirable  partii-s,  and 
in  1800,  by  securing  ahonseandlot  known  a*  the  Hate 
property  for  tlie  mm  of  $2,350,  all  danger  of  being  cii' 
croached  upon  by  irresi»on»ible  neighbors  was  averted. 

The  total  land  owned  by  the  Institution  at  present 
is  about  eighty  {«cres,  which  cost,  including  the  iiii- 
provements,  $36,582.84.  Of  thi«  the  State, 
bv  direct  appropriation,  paid  but  $19,550.  There 
were  buildings  on  the  lota  bought  of  Tomp- 
kins, in  1823;  of  Mrs.  Heron,  in  1879;  of  the  Tonipkiii«* 
heirs,  in  1882;  of  Mrs.  Beatty,  in  1884;  of  Yeiser,  iic

by  the  purchase  of  the  Tompkins  property  the  Institution

''in  one  of  the  Teiiitories  on  lands  to  which  the  Indian 
"title  has  been  extinjxnished." 

By  various  acts  the  time  alotted  fo  •  selling  the   lands 
was  extended,  the  last  extension  terminating  during  the 
Civil  War.     Part  of  the  land  was  located  in     the    then 
Teiritory  of  Arkansas.     On    the    15th  of    April,  182»!, 
Rev.  iSamuel  K.  Nelson  was  commissioned  as  aerent  and 
sent  to  FU)rida  to  Ipcate    the    land    under    the    grant. 
Most  of  the  land  he  selected  was   in    Jackson    county. 
Different  gentlemen  acted  as  resident  agents  in    Florida 
and  Arkansas  for  the  sale  of  land,  and  up  to  1840  they 
reported  the  sale  of  19,000  acres  for  |85,000.     A    large 
part  of  this  however  was  in  Florida  ])ost  notes  andothtr 
currency  that  had  greatly  dei)reciated  in  value.  The  I  iisti- 
tution  also  lost  considerable  through  the  defalcation  of  one 
of  its  agents.     He  died  sud<lenly  from  yellow  fever  and 
on  examination  of  his  accounts  he  was  foundtobcimloht- 
ed  to  the  Institution  for  about  $18,000.  with  littie  (v  n.. 
assets  to  meet  it.     The  total    cash     receipts    from    tlie 
land  grant,  by  the   Institution,    down  to  1801  when  the 
last  payment    was    received,  was    to    the    amount    ol'

rea<lily  incorjiorated  into  the  American  System.  Like 
our  social  and  political  institutions,  it  freely  receives 
what  is  good  from  all  quarters,  and  liy  a  plastic  energy

We  have  seen  no  reason  to  dejiart  from  tliis  system

There  are  at  present,  in  addition  to  the  instruction  in

The  building  in  the  frontispiece,  nominally  one,  really  consists  of 
eight,  suitably  connected,  and  was  erpcted  at  a  cost  of  $650,000.    It  is 
built  of  brick,  and  is  elaborately  trimmed  with  stone.     The  roofing  is  of 
slate,  the  cornice  of  galvanized  iron,  and  the  balconies,  pillars,  railing  and 
floor,  of  iron.    The  number  of  bricks  required  was  8,000,000 ;  the  roof-cor- 
nice is  3,800  feet  in  length';  the  gas-pipes  measure  two  miles;  the  interior 
walls  and  ceilings  have  a  surface  of  twelve  acres,  and  the  floor  a  surface 
of  four  acres.    The  windows  number  800.    The  front  building,  270  feet 
length,  is  surmounted  by  seven  towers,  the  center  one  being  115  feet  high 
the  two  at  its  side  105  feet,  and  the  four  at  the  corners  97  feet.    The  (lenter 
tower  has  been  finished  to  tlie  top,  and  from  it,  ascending  by  a  spiral  stair- 
case, visitors  have  a  magnificient  view  of  the  city.    This  front  building  is 
divided  by  a  hall  ten  feet  wide,  running  its  entire  length,  upon  everv 
story,  each  story  above  the  basement  being  fifteen  feet  high.    The  use  of 
this  building  is  for  offices,  library,  hospitals,  parlors,  sewing  and  store- 
rooms, and  chambers  occupied  by  officers  and  employes.     Attached  to  the 
front  building  are  three  wings,  running  north,  all  invisible  in  the  picture, 
The  central  wing,  145  by  40  feet,  is  occupied  by  the  kitchen  and  adjacent 
store-rooms,  the  dining-room  and  a  chapel  23  feet  in  height.    The  two  ex- 
terior wings  i    tt^nd  north  115  feet,  affording  a  hall  the  entire  length,  and 
adjacent  rooms  for  baggage,  clothing,  washing,  bathing  and  water-closets, 
Attached  to  these  exterior  wings,  and  extending  at  right  angles  to  them, 
110  feet  east>nd  west,  are  two  wings  40  feet  wide,  called  the  boys'  and 
girls'  wings.    These  are  the  parts  of  the  building  visible  at  th^  sides  of  the 
picture.    The  first  story  is  used  as  a  play-room.     The  second  is  the  sitting 
or  study-room,  and  is  used  out  of  school  and  work  hours.    The  two  upper 
stories  are  dormitories.    The  very  fine  provision  made  for  light  and  air  is 
obvious  to  the  eye.     These  side  wings  return  by  corridors  to  the  centra! 
wing,  which  continues  by  the  bakery  and  store-rooms  in  the  basement, 
and  by  corridors  in  every  story,  to  the  school  building  in  the  rear.    This 
building,  115  by  55  feet,  is  invisible  in  the  cut.     It  is  three  stories  high 
and  contains  twenty-five  school-rooms.    Still  further  to  the  rear  iu  a  build- 
ing 100  feet  square,  from  the  corner  of  which  rises  the  ventilating  shaft, 
115  feet  high,  and  visible  in  the  cut  directly  above  the  girls'  wing.    The 
building  contains  the  boilers,  engines  and  pumps  for  heating  the  main 
building  and  for  supplying  every  part  with  water.     A  few  yards  west  of 
this  is  a  two-atory  brick   building  55x25  feet,  containing  the  machinery 
and  appliances  of  the  laundry.    At  the  extrerxie  right  of  the  picture  ap- 
pears the  barn.    Between  it  and  the  boys'  wing  is  seen  the  east  end  of 
the  bindery,  which  is  130x.35  feet.    North  of  this  is  the  industrial  building 
and  ice-house,  375x22  feet  in  size,  containing  the  carpenter-shop,  shoe- 
shop,  tailor-shop,  printing-office  and  fire  department.    On  the  left  of  the 
girls' wing  is  the  conservatory,  a  beautiful  structure,  filled  with  flowers 
and  rare  plants.

THE  Ohio  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb,  the  fifth  in  the  order  of  foundation,  was  in- 
corporated by  an  act  of  the  Legislature,  passed  in  1827.  It  was 
the  first  establislied  upon  the  idea  that  it  is  the  primary  duty 
of  the  State  to  phice  within  the  reach  of  every  child  the  means 
of  education,  whereby  to  become  capable  of  discharging  the 
duties  of  citizenship.  This  grand  idea  of  educated  citizenship 
was  distinctly  declared  in  the  ordinance  of  1787,  or,  as  its  legal 
title  reads,  "An  ordinance  for  the  government  of  the  territory  of 
the  United  States  nortliwest  of  the  Ohio  River,"  in  the  follow- 
ing words  :  "Religion,  morality  and  knowledge  being  necessary 
to  good  government  and  the  happiness  of  mankind,  schools, 
iuid  (he  means  of  education,  shall  forever  be  encouraged." 

When  the  State  Constitution  was  adopted  in  1802,  it  contained 
the  following  provision:  "Religion,  morality  and  knowledge 
hehig  essentially  necessary  to  good  government  and  the  happi- 
ness of  mankind,  schools  and  the  means  of  instruction  shall 
forever  be  encouraged  by  legislative  provision,  not  inconsistent 
with  conscience."  The  opposition  to  State  education  by  the 
"strict  constructionists"  was  wide  spread  and  aggressive,  but 
the  friends  of  the  cause  took  firm  hold  of  the  idea,  agitating  it 
until  it  was  developed  and  enacted  into  a  law  in  1825— the  first 
hiw  that  authorized  a  general  tax,  to  use  the  language  of  the 
hiw  itself,  "for  the  instruction  of  youth  of  every  class  and 
unule  without  distinction,  in  reading,  writing,  arithmetic  and 
other  necessary  branches  of  a  common  education."  The  law 
provided  for  a  tax  of  one-half  of  a  mill  to  be  levied  by  the 
County  Commissioners  upon  the  county  duplicate  for  the  use 
and  maintenance  of  common  schools. 

As  a  result  of  the  long  and  bitter  agitation  upon  the  subject 
of  education,  the  way  was  prepared  for  the  establishment  of 
the  Institution  by  the  Legislature.  To  Rev.  James  Hoge,  D.  D., 
more  than  to  any  other  man,  belongs  the  credit  for  bringing 
iibout  the  consummation.  He  was  a  prominent  Presloyterian 
minister  of  Columbus.     A  staunch  friend  of  popular  education,

lie  was  one  of  the  seven  commissioners  a])pointed  by  Governor 
TriniMe,  in  1822.  to  take  steps  looking  towards  a  school  systpni 
for  the  State.     His  appointment  on  the  commission  led  to  his 
interest  in  deaf-mute  education.     A  letter,  hearing  the  dati'  of 
Jan.  3, 1822,  was  received  by  Governor  Trimble  from  the  direct- 
ors   of    the    Pennsylvania   Institution,    established    in    1m>0, 
describing  the  facilities  possessed  by  the  school  and  invitins; 
Ohio  to  send  pupils  upon  the  same  terms  charged  to  citizens  of 
their  own  State.     Among  other  things  the  letter  said:  "Returns 
of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  have  been  made  from    the  different 
counties  of  the  State,  and  what  was  apprehended  by  some  is 
now  reduced  to  a  painful  certainty — their  number  being  found 
much   greater   tlian    had    ))een  generally   supposed.     This,  we 
presume,  will  prove  to  be  the  case  in  our  sister  States,  consider- 
ing  how   much   neglect   such   unfortunate   persons   too  often 
sutfer,  and  the  motive  to  concealment  which  their  friends  and 
parents  find  in  their  personal  feelings,  when  there  is  no  jjros- 
pect  of  giving  them  relief." 

"Had  you.  Sir,  seen  our  earliest  pupils  at  the  time  of  their 
admission,  and  could  you  now  see  them,  and  compare  their  past 
with  their  present  condition,  we  venture  to  say  that  you  would 
find  abundant  reason  for  exerting  your  individual  and  oflicial 
influence,  to  obtain  the  means  of  affording  to  these  unhapin- 
objects  of  your  own  State  the  benefits  of  instruction.  The 
translation,  indeed,  of  one  of  the  inferior  species  of  creation,  t 
the  human  species,  would  be  only  in  a  degree  more  wonderful 
than  we  have  in  several  instances  witnessed  in  our  scholars; 
and  we  nuiy  add,  as  a  great  encouragement,  that  thirst  for  far- 
ther improvement,  and  rapidity  of  acipiirement,  after  the  de- 
lights of  knowledge  are  once  tasted,  seem  to  be  characteristic 
of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb.  In  these  respects  they  appear  rafh(^r 
to  have  the  advantage  of  most  children  blessed  with  the  pos- 
session of  all  their  senses." 

What  wonder  that  these  statements  made  a  profound  impres- 
sion upon  Dr.  Hoge's  mind,  and  awoke  in  his  heart  an  interest 
that  never  allowed  him  to  rest  until  he  had  helped  bring  aiiout 
the  establishment  of  a  school  for  the  deaf  of  his  own  State? 

Although  the  Legislature  did  not  accept  the  invitation  to 
send  pupils  to  Philadelphia,  an  act  was  passed  at  t:he  next  sfs- 
sion,  requiring  "the  listers  of  the  several  townships  in  fach 
county  of  the  State,  at  the  time  of  taking  the  enumeration  of 


THE    OHIO    INSTITUTION.

whih' persons,  to  ascertain  the  number  of  the  deaf  and  dumb, 
of  nil  ages,  and  to  return  said  lists  lo  the  clerk  of  common 
pleas  of  said  county,"  with  a  statement  of  their  pecuniary  con- 
dition. The  result  of  the  enumeration  was  four  hundred  and 
twenty-eight  deaf-mutes  in  the  State,  without  Athens  and 
Hamilton,  the  latter  the  most  populous  in  the  State,  which 
made  no  returns.  Seventy-two  were  reported  as  "in  good  cir- 
cumstances,' 06  as  "in  middling  circumstances,"  279  as  "poor" 
and  11  were  not  reported.  It  was  i)lain  that  there  existed 
material  enough  for  a  school,  and  that  but  little  dependence  for 
its  support  could  be  placed  upon  tuition  fees  from  parents 
and  guardians.  Dr.  Hoge  now  saw  his  way  clear,  and  In-onght 
the  subject  to  the  attention  of  Governor  Morrow;  and,  at  his 
siijiK'estion,  the  Governor  inserted  a  strong  recommendation  in 
his  message  to  the  Legislature  at  the  opening  of  the  session  of 
182()-7,  urging  "the  establishing  of  an  Asylum  for  the  education 
of  the  deaf  and  dumb  persons  in  this  State."  On  the  8th  of 
December,  1826,  the  subject  was  referred  in  the  House  of  Re])- 
vosentatives  to  a  select  committee  of  three.  Dr.  Hoge  went 
Itefore  the  committee  with  an  elaborate  memorial,  prepared  by 
himself  and  signed  by  a  large  number  of  prominent  citizens. 
The  memorial  detailed,  at  length,  the  condition  of  the  deaf 
l.revious  to  instruction,  the  efforts  that  had  been  made  in  for- 
•  iijii  countries,  and  recently  in  our  own,  for  their  relief,  and  the 
change  which  education  wrought  in  them.  On  the  27th,  the 
Conuuittee  reported  a  bill  for  incorporating  the  Institution,  and 
it  i)assed  without  serious  opposition  on  January  30,  1827. 

Prior  to  the  act  of  incorporation,  two  applications  were  made 
tu  the  Legislature  for  pecuniary  aid  in  behalf  of  the  deaf. 
During  the  session  of  1819-20,  a  citizen  of  Stark  county  applied 
for  State  aid  in  sending  his  son  to  the  American  Asylum. 
A  bill  was  reported  in  his  favor,  but  there  appears  to  have  been 
no  final  action  taken  upon  it.  In  the  spring  of  1821,  an  associ- 
ation of  citizens  was  formed  in  Cincinnati,  "for  establishing  a 
school  for  the  instruction  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  in  this  west- 
ern i)art  of  the  country."  Rev.  James  Chute  was  selected  and 
sent  to  the  American  Asylum  in  July  to  qualify  himself  for  the 
work.  He  returned  home  in  the  following  November,  and  the 
next  month  the  Association  made  application  to  the  Legislature 
t'oi-  an  act  of  incorporation,  under  the  name  of  "The  Western 
Asylum  for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,"  and  for 


■20

pecuniary   aid.     The  application  was  rejected,  on  the  grouihf 
that  such  an  Institution  sjiould  have  a  central  location.     Mr. 
Chute's  connection  with  the  enterprise  ceased.     He  was  after- 
ward  chaplain  of  the  old  Ohio  Penitentiary.     Before  any  or- 
ganization was  efJ'ected  by  the  act  of  incorporation,  a  school  For 
the  deaf  was  started  in  May,  1827,  in  Tallmadge,  now  in  Suin- 
init  county,  Ohio.     In  the  village  was  a  nnui,  Bradley  by  name, 
who  had  three  deaf  daughters  in  his  family.     Their  condition 
excited  the  sympathy  of  the  neighbors,  and  inquiry  brought 
out  the  fact  that  there  were  other  mutes  in  neighboring  town- 
ships.    A  meeting  of  citizens  was  held  March  19,  1827,  and  a 
resolution  was  adopted   "to   make   an  attempt   to  establish  a 
school  or  asylum  for  the  deaf  and  dumb."     A  committee  was 
chosen,  with  full  powers  to  arrange  for  a  school,  which,  in  the 
language  of  the  Committee,  "if  public  sentiment  and  benevo- 
lence shall  justify,  is  intended  to  become  a  permanent  institu- 
tion."    .Mr.    Colonel    Sriiith,    a   mute  who   received  six  years' 
instruction   in   the  American   Asylum  and   had  taken  uj)  his 
residence  in  the  village,  was  engaged  for  a  school  term  of  six 
months,  tuition  to  be  $6.     The  school  was  supported  by  private 
charity.     The   sum    of  $100  was   voted  by  the  Legislature  in 
1828,  for  the  salary  of  the  teacher,  and  the  same  amount  was 
granted  for  .the  next  year,  "should  the  school  in  Columbus  not 
go  into  active  operation."     Tiie  latter  money  was  not  drawn 
from  the  treasury,  the  school  having  been  closed.     Eleven  pu- 
pils were  enrolled,  most  of  whom  afterward  attended  the  Ohio 
Institution.    •

ers and  to  hold  property,  the  aniuuil  income  of  which  should  not 
exceed  $30,000.  The  first  Board  consisted  of  (>ight  members,  who

ident ex-officio;  *Kev.  James  Hoge,  D.  D.,  Secretary,  and  Gusta- 
vus  Swan.  Esq.,  Treasurer.  The  number  of  trustees  was  increas- 
ed to  twelve  the  next  year.  Until  1845  the  number  fluctuated 
between  twelve  and  fourteen.     In  1846,  the  Governor  ceased  to

till'  iiunihcr  of  trustoHs  was  reduced  to  sHVtui,  and  reiiuiiiiMd  so 
until  1852,  when  all  the  lienevolent  Institutions  wero  placed 
1111(1. T  one  Board  of  nine  Trustees.  A  coiuniittee  of  three  had 
control  of  the  Institutions  during?  the  interim  of  the  stated 
meetings  of  the  Board.  In  1850,  the  Institutions  were  re-6rgan- 
iz<'(l.  being  placed  under  separate  Boards  of  three  Trustees 
each,  which  number  continued  until  1878.  The  number  has, 
since  then,  been  five,  the  Superintendent  of  the  Institution  di.s- 
<'li!irging  the  duties  of  Secretary. 

LOCATION. 

The  Hoard,  in  its  first  report  made  to  the  Legislature  in  De- 
cember 5,  1827,  recommended  that  the  Institution  be  located  at 
Columbus  for  the  following  reasons : 

'•At  this  place  it  will  be  inider  the  eye,  and  subject  to  the  in- 
si)ection  of  the  Legislature,  its  immediate  Patron,  at  all  times. 

And  the  facilities  of  intercourse  and  conveyance,  which  are 
collected  at  this  point,  render  it  more  convenient  to  every  part 
of  this  State,  and  the  north-western  States,  generally,  than  any 
other  place." 

In  accordance  with  this  recommendation,  an  act  was  i)assed 
by  the  Legislature,  in  1829,  appropriating  $500  for  the  purchase 
of  a  suitable  site  in  Columbus.  Three  outlots,  containingalxmt 
ten  acres,  then  half  a  mile  from  the  town,  were  bought  for  three 
hundred  dollars — "a  price  considerably  below  the  supposed  val- 
ue." Dr.  Hoge  owned  one  of  the  lots.  They  are  now  in  the  heart 
of  the  city,  and  are  w^orth  over  $800,000.  The  grounds  wen^  at 
first,  divided  by  interior  fences  and  devoted  mainly  to  the  rais- 
in<r  of  crops ;  but,  in  1868,  they  were  rearranged  by  a  skilful  land- 
scape artist,  presenting  a  fine  variety  of  surface,  with  beautiful 
lawns,  drives  and  walks.  About  the  year  1850  the  removal  of 
the  Institution  to  a  country  site  began  to  be  a  subject  of  talk 
among  the  members  of  the  Legislature,  but  it  was  strenuously 
"l»p<>se(l  by  Superintendent  after  Superintendent  down  to  1864.

Tilt'  Board,  in  its  first  report,  calculating  upon  dividing  with 
the  Kentucky  Institution,  founded  in  1822?,  the  patronage  of  the

Board  was  compelled  to  rent  buildings  in  Columbus  until  jihle 
to  build.     It  was  not  until  188->  that  an  ap|)ropriati()n,  part  of 
the  dues  arising  from   public  sales  in  Cincinnati,  allowed  H,,.

buildings,  ij!  1  o,()00.     It  was  designed  to  accommodate  from  sixty 
to  eighty  pupils,  and   was  thought  to  be  sufficiently  large  to 
nu^et  the  wants  of  the  Institution  for  nniny  years  to  come,    lint 
in  1845.  th(^  attendance  of  over  a  hundred  necessitated  the  addj. 
tion  ()f  a  wing  to  the  south  side,  seventy  feet  by  thirty  and  four 
stories  high.     The  Institution  had  now  accommodations  for  one 
hundred  and  fifty  pupils  ;  but  before  the  lapse  of  another  decacb 
the  want  of  more  room  was  sorely  felt,  and  from  that  time  on 
the  Board,  in  its  annual    reports,  bombarded  the  Legislature 
upon  the  necessity  of  acUlitional  buildings. 

In  the  spring  of  18(i4,  although  the  State  was  going  through 
the  throes  of  the  Civil  War,  the  Legislature,  on  account  of  tLj 
dilapidated    condition    of    the    original    building   which   was 
described   in   public   prints  as   "an  uncomely  relic  of  modern 
antiquity,"  i)assed  mianimously  a  bill;  providing  for  the  erec- 
tion of  a  new  house,  "to  be  of  plain  and  substantial  construc- 
tion, having  special  adai^tation  and   proper  economy  for  the 
convenient  and  suitable  accomnu)dation  of  three  hundred  and 
fifty  pupils  and  necessary  officers  and  si^rvants."     The  Governor, 
instead  of  the  Board,  was  empowered  to  carry  out  the  pro\  i.s- 
ions  of  the  act.     The  ground  was  broken  on  the  80th  of  June. 
1804,  in  the  rear  of  the  old  building,  and  the  middle  of  the  fol- 
lowing autumn  witnessed  the  laying  of  the  corner-stone.     In 
the  spring  of  1867,  while  the  new  housi^  was  still  in  ])rocess  of 
construction,  an  epidemic,  which  proved  to  be  typhoid  fever, 
broke  out,  claiming  for  its  victims  five  of  the  pupils.    The 
school   was    immediately   disbanded    to    arrest    the   advancing 
progress  of  the  epidemic.     To  use  the  language  of  the  Institu- 
tion i)hysician  :     "The  probable  cause  of  this  epidemic— added 
to  the  prevalent  bad  influence  of  [the]  season,  [and]  the  int-^r- 
ruptioli  of  the  already  defective  ventilation  of  the  old  building

tuie  of  the  building  is  called  the  "Franco-Italian,"  because  the 
cniupaniles  or  towers  are  of  the  form  and  appearance  jieculiar 
to  tlie  Italian  order  and  their  steep  roofs  and  dormer  windows

SUPPORT. 

The  subject  of  the  support  of  the  Institution  was  a  matter  of 
IK)  small  peri)lexity,  as  the  first  report  of  the  Board  shows. 
Tlic  trustees  say  : 

'For  the  support  of  the  youth  who  may  be  sent  to  the  Asy- 
liuii.  it  is  supposed  that  eighty  dollars  for  <'ach  will  be  sufficient 
III  defray  the  expense  of  })oarding,  tuition,  fuel,  etc.,  during  the 
year.  And  should  Legislative  bounty,  or  individual  liberality, 
(■liable  the  Hoard  to  support  the  instructors  and  other  persons 
iiuploved  in  the  Asylum,  the  expense  of  each  individual  would 
lie  diminished  in  proportion.  Perhajxs  the  best  ])lan  is  that 
adopted  by  the  Legislatur(»s  of  the  several  States,  which  have 
established,  or  are  engaged  in  sustaining  similar  Institutions. 
These  States  have  nuide,  by  law,  full  provision  for  the  support 
efsucli  a  luimber  of  deaf  mutes  as  th<^y  deemed  sufficient  to 
meet  the  necessities  of  the  poor,  among  whom  by  far  the  largest 
IMirtion  of  them  are  found.  It  is  respectfully  suggested,  as  a 
subject  of  iiujuiry,  wliether  there  may  not  be  an  act  passed 
authorizing  the  payment  by  the  Treasurer  of  State  of  the  neces- 
sary expense,  not  exceeding  eighty  (hdlars  for  each,  of  one 
pupil  from  each  Senatorial  District  in  the  State,  to  be  selected 
hy  the  Senator  or  Representative  of  that  District,  for  the  time 
liHing,  instead  of  one  from  each  Judicial  Circuit;  with  a  provi- 
sinii  that  the  Commissioners  of  any  comity,  may  partly  or 
whully  defray  the  expense  of  supporting  one  for  every  ten 
tiieiisan<l  inhabitants,  which  the  ctmnty  may  contain  ;  allowing 
till'  support  in  like  manner,  of  one.  although  the  county  should 
iii't    contain    that    numl)er    of   inliabitants.     And   further   it

whether  it  is  good  and  sound  ])olicy,  to  place  any  i)art  of  the 
proceeds  of  the  Salt  Lands  in  the  Common  School  Fund ;  and 
although  we  would  be  among  the  last  to  deprive  our  seminaries 
of  learning  of  any  ])art  of  that  aid  which  they  may  d.-riv.'  freni 
this  source,  yet,  it  may  be  worthy  of  incpiiry,  whether  the  Asy- 
lum for  Deaf-mutes  may  not  share  with  them?" 

"2.  That  an  application  be  nuide  to  the  Congress  of  the 
United  States,  for  a  donation  of  land,  e(pml  in  quantity  to  a 
townshi]),  to  be  located  in  small  tracts,  at  the  several  land  of- 
fices in  this  State,  or  elsewhere,  under  the  direction  of  this 
Board,  or  if  this  location  be  thought  inexpedient,  in  an  entire 
tract,  where  good  land  may  be  obtained.  Jt  is  thought,  however. 
that  the  former  location  will  be  most  advantageous  to  the  Asv- 
lum." 

"  J3.  That  a  subscription  paper  be  opened  at  the  office  ot  \hr

The  first  appropriation  of  money  made  to  the  Institution  by 
the  Legislature  in  1827-8  was  drawn  from  the  "Literary  Fund."

In  iSoO,  Governor  McArthur,  in  his  message  to  tin*  Legisla-

insi  for  a  township  of  land  to  endctw  the  Institution.  This  was 
accordingly  don(s  and  a  resolution  was  passed  directing  the

cnrdial  support  and  iiiHuence.  A  bill,  granting  a  township,

(mm  a  livnlihood  when  tlu'y  Icavi^  tlic  school.  This  lias  1  .en  ., 
subject  of  iuvKstiKatioii  with  tho  Hoard  hnn^toforn;  hut  for  wmit 
of  adequate  funds,  and  for  other  reasons  which  need  not  now  ,. 
(h'lailed.  little  has  heen  done.  The  girls  are,  to  some  extent 
taught  common  household  business;  and  the  boys  luive  doup 
sonmthing  in  liorticulture,  and  have  occasionally  performed  oth- 
er  labor  on  the  ])remises.  But  it  is  deemed  altogether  necessa- 
ry to  adopt  systematic  measures  for  em])loying  them  regularh-. 
a  portion  of  every  day,  in  some  handicraft  that  will  be  prolital)!^ 
to  tliem  in  after  lif(\  Two  methods  of  a(!Complishing  this  mI)- 
ject  have  been  under  consideration.  The  first  is,  that  the  Beard 
should  employ  workmen  to  conduct  the  different  trades  tliat 
sliall  be  introduced,  a])])ly  sufficient  funds  to  carry  on  th(^  busi- 
ness advantageously,  aiul  dispose  of  the  products  for  the  |)eii('- 
fit  of  the  Jnstitr.tion.  The  second  is,  to  contract  with  inecliau- 
ic9  of  proper  character,  to  instruct  the  ])upils,  and  nuuiiige  the 
business  chiefiy.  if  Hot  wholly,  with  their  own  capital,  and  for 
their  own  benefit,  giving  the  labor  of  those  whom  they  teach 
during  a  fixed  numb(M-  of  lumrs  every  day,  as  their  remuneratidii 
for  time  and  expense.  In  either  way  it  will  be  necessary  that 
work  shojis  shall  be  erected,  implenu>nts  furnished,  and  [xTliaps 
materials  to  some  amount  provided  by  the  Asylum  in  advance: 
but  in  the  former  case,  to  a  much  larger  extent  than  the  latter. 
For  this  reason,  and  because  it  will  jirobably  secure  other  advan- 
tag(>s,  it  is  thought  that  tlu'  latter  ])lan  is  to  ))e  jireferred.  If 
mechanical  business  is  carried  on  })y  hiring  workmen,  and  pro- 
viding all  materials,  it  will  be,  in  all  probability,  a  losing  busi- 
ness every  year.  But  if  responsible  mechanics  will  nuinage  tln' 
whole  arrangement  for  their  own  interest,  the  pui)ils  will  lie 
trained,  and  no  loss  l)e  iiunu'n-d." 

In  1888,  the  Board  was  enabled  to  (U'ect  a  work  shop,  twonty 
feet  by  sixty  and  two  stories  high,  and  it  was  intended  to  Ix^giii 
several  mechanical  trades  as  soon  as  practicable.  It  wuh  re- 
solved b}'  the  Board  that  the  most  economical  plan  would  he  td 
"provide  tools,  and  if  necessary,  make  some  advance  fur  mate- 
rials aiul  contract  with  mechanics  to  instruct  the  pupils  and 
manage  the  business  at  their  own  expense  and  for  their  own 
advantage,  receiving  the  labor  of  the  ))oys  as  their  compen- 
sation." "A  committee  was  appointed  to  carry  this  plan  into 
effect." 

According  to  the   report   for   1840,   the  a.bove   plan   had  not

pn.v.Ml  a  success  "on  account  of  tlio  difficulty  of  finding  me- 
,|ianl<'s  willing  to  engage  in  such  business;"  and  although  con- 
tnicl-  had  been  made  with  several  men,  a  beginning  had  only 
licii  made  in  shoemaking.  A  machine  shop  had  commenped,. 
lull  nothing  came  of  it. 

Ill  IMl,  tlie  shoemaker's  shoj)  w:. .  gtill  progressing  favor- 
iihly.  I  hough  attempts  to  introduc(>  other  kinds  of  business  had 
failed.  Th<'  Trustees,  however,  were  not  discouraged,  for  they 
say:  "Th.'  first  opi)ortunity  of  enlarging  these  operati<ms  ili 
an  advantageous  nuinner,  that  may  otter,  will  be  immediately 
I'liihj'accd." 

Ill  JS4().  however,  even  shoemaking  by  the  contract  system 
was  abandoned. 

Ex-Sui)erintendent  G.  O.  Fay,  in  li is  address,  entitled  "The 
Sriiii-tVntennial  History  of  the  Ohio  Institution,"  says:  "The 
turcincii  were  interested  in  teaching  the  boys  only' so  far  as 
thry  couhl  mak(>  their  labor  i)rofitable  to  "themselves.  This 
th.y  failed  to  do,  and  they  were  also  annoyed  by  the  thought- 
less waste  of  material.  The  relations  between  fonmien  and 
hoys  were  sometimes  moiv  violent  than  would  have  been  neces- 
sary had  the  form(>r  been  better  able  to  communicate  with  their 
mure  apprentices.  Alutual  dislike,  changes,  and  a  degree  of 
uiipopiihuMty  clouded  the  enterprise,  and.  as  the  room  soon 
'■aine  to  be  greatly  needed  for  other  important  uses,  trades,  as 
such,  were  reluctantly  dropj)ed." 

It  was  not  until  mm  that  shoemaking  was  resumed,  and  the 
prohleiuof  trade  teaching  was  satisfactorily  solved  by  placing 
Mr.  V.  P.  Pratt,  a  skilled  deaf-n)ut<'.  in  charge  of  the  shop  and  on 
asalary.  "the  State  owning  all  the  nniterials  and  disposing  of 
iill  products."  The  shop  is  still  under  the  numagement  of  the 
same  foreman,  who  has  a  kiuick  of  making  shoemakers  out  of 
Ins  hoys.  Since  1S<)(),  with  the  introduction  of  the  necessary 
'nachinery  in  the  shop,  the  factory  system  has  been  successfully 
tautrht.  ill  addition  to  bench  work,  and  it  emibles  the  boys  to 
'.!itniii  a  ready  entree  into  the  factories  in  the  cities.

the  Mute's  Chronicle  for  a  quarter  of  a  century  with  signal  sue-

]ioard  of  Agriculture  and  the  State  Weather  Bureau. 

Until  1882  the  trades  of  shoeniaking,  i)rinting,  and  !„i„k. 
})inding  were  carried  on  in  th(>  building,  one  hundred  and  thirty 
hy  thirty-five,  erected  in  185().  The  growth  of  work  ii,  the 
Bindery  comiielled  the  erection  of  a  new  building  in  \HH-2,  and 
the  transfer  of  the  shoe  shop  and  the  printing  office.  In  |j,.s,) 
carpentry  was  placed  upon  the  list  of  traders,  and  in  1888,  tailor- 
ing was  added  to  the  list.  These  four  trades  are  tat'iglit  in 
what  is  called  the  industrial  Building. 

THE  SCHOOL  DEI'AKTMENT, 

The  first  opening^  of   the    school   occurred    on    the    lOtli   of 
October,  182'.).  with  only  ow  pupil,   a   little   boy,   Samuel  \y 
Flenniken  by  uame.     Pie  was  in  his  twelfth  y(>ar,'^looking  brisrht 
and  cute  in  a  suit  of  hcmie-spun,  consisting  of  brown  pantaloons 
and  a  gray  jacket,  luittoned  up  with  two  large  brass  buttons,  and 
with  a  coarse,  close-Htting  fur  cap.     Within  half  an  hour  of  his 
arrival.  Governor  ^forrow  made  his  appearance,  and  taking  tlip 
little  boy  by  the  hand,  gave  liim  an  ap[)roving  pat  on  the  liMad. 
Other  jKipils  arrived  at  dift'erent  periods  during  the  year,  and 
when  the  term   closed   on  the  last   Friday  in  July,   18:50,  the 
numl)er  had  increased  to  ten.     The  second  year,   ]88()-81.  had 
thirteen  pupils  more,  and  an  assistant  teaclujr  was  appohited  in 
the  person  of  Danforth  K.  Hall,  a  mute,  who  was  educated  at  tlu' 
American  Asylum.     The  growth  of  Hie  school  has  been  steady. 
as  the  following  figures  will  show.     One  hundred  and  fifty-thivc 
pupils  were  enrolled  during  the  first  decade  from  1829  to  1880  ■

TJK'  term  of  instruction  was,  at  first,  three  years.  It  uas  ex- 
trndrd  to  four  in  imH;  to  five  in  18M;  to  seven  in  184^ ;  and  to 
U'U  in  iSfiO,  which  is  still  the  legal  limit. 

In  the  report  for  1888,  the  Principal  broaches  the  question, 
••whether  the  time  has  not  arrived,  wIkmi  other  studi(>s,  peculiar- 
ly iidapted  to  the  condition  of  the  mute,  cannot  be  introduced  to 
advantage?  I  allude  particularly  to  portrait  and  landscai)e 
painting,  designing,  linear  drawing,  and  engraving;  not  that  they 
should  all  be  taught,  but  whether  a  selection  could  not  1)'e 
iiiadH  from  them  very  advantageously."  To  quote  from  the  re- 
port for  1844:  "We  had  two  courses  of  lessons  given  last  year  in 
drawing.  It  was  thought  a  very  creditable  beginning,  particu- 
larly taking  into  consideration  the  circumstances,  under  which 
th.y  w.Te  given,  the  aggr(>gate  anumntof  time  devoted  to  them, 
and  the  early  hour  of  the  morning  which  was  thus  occupied.  I 
>^"uld  resp.'ctfully  recommend  that  th(^se  lessons  be  contiinied, 
at  su.d,  times  as  would  be  convenient,  and  to  such  as  manifest 
ii  talent  in  this  way,  not,  however  to  interfere  with  any  existing 
studies  or  employments  in  the  Asylum."  For  the  past  fifty 
years  no  decide.!  ntep  has  been  t.'iken  in  regard  to  instruction 
in  art. 

Ill  INLI,  a  cabinet  of  minerals  was  begun  for  the  purpose  of

"practical  utility  in  ilhistniling  instruction,'"  and  it  received, 
from  time  to  time,  valuahlc  additions  in  shells,  rare  coins  aiul 
scientific  ai)i)aratus.  In  IWIH,  a  larg(>  room  was  devoted  tn  its 
\i>i('  with  the  expectation  of  enlarging  its  usefulness,  hut  the 
room  was  diverted  t'o  other  uses  in  hSHl,  niid  the  specimens  aiul 
ai)paratus  l)e;'am(>  ornaments  of  the  Library. 

The  Superintendent's  rei)()rt  for  1851  suyfl :  "A  heginniiiff 
has  been  made  in  forming  a  Cabinet  of  Common  Things\  such 
as  seeds,  licpiids,  specimens  of  cloth,  and  small  articles  of  even- 
description,  which  may  be  preserved  in  phials,  or  boxes,  or 
placed  on  shelves.  These,  properly  labeled,  can  Ix*  shown  to  the 
younger  pupils,  and  they  can  easily  learn  their  names.  Knewl- 
edge  derived  rrom  the  sight  of  an  object  is  more  perfect  tliaii  it 
can  l)e  from  a  mere  sign.  Their  taste  will  also  be  cultivated  hv 
examining  th(se  productions  of  natiu'e  and  art,  and  a  desire  will 
be  excited  to  enlarge  their  sphere  of  knowledge  l)y  ac([uiring  the 
names  of  other  things."  The  phial  ])lan  was  revived  in  ISSI. 
))Ut  it  has  never  been  carried  on  to  a  very  satisfactory  extent. 

The  report  for  1851  also  says:  "An  Institution  Library  has 
l)een  commenced,  embracing  reading  Itooks  adapted  to  the  vari- 
ous ca])acities  of  the  ])upils,  from  the  youngest  to  the  most  ad- 
vanced. These  are  divided  into  Branch  Libraries,  and,  for  the 
present,  are  placed  under  the  direction  of  the  Teachers,  in  their 
school-rooms,  for  the  use  of  their  respective  classes."  The  libra- 
ry continued  to  grow  in  size,  and  in  1868  a  large  room  was  set 
apart  for  its  particular  use.  It  reached  the  number  of  nearly 
three  thousand  volumes  by  1879;  fjut  not  nuu'h  has  been  dene 
in  the  way  of  increasing  it  since  then.  Since  1882  the  juvenile 
Ixiaks  have  lieen  kept  in  the  study-rooms  within  easy  access  of 
the  pupils. 

The  report  for  1851  also  says:  "A  gynuiasium,  to  attract  the 
pupils  to  engage  daily  in  healthful  exercises,  has  been  erected  on 
the  playground,  and  j)romises  to  be  of  especial  benefit  in  theab- 
Kence  of  workshops  and  other  excitants  to  a  healthy  activity." 
This  was  supi)lemented  by  an  excellent  gymnasium  in  the  i)uild- 
ing  erected  in  1856  for  sh>)ps.  It  was  kept  up  until  1868,  when 
it  had  to  give  way  to  the  shoeshop.  In  1881,  another  effort  ftti 
a  gynnuisium  was  made  in  the  boys'  play-room  ;  but  it  was  aban- 
doned after  a  short  trial  tor  several  reasons.  In  1890,  a  gym- 
nasium was  revived  in  the  advanced  boys'  study-room,  but  after 
a  few  months"  trial,  it  was  deemed  desiraV)le  to  restore  the  mom

to.  its  original  purpose.  This  year  a  lady  of  experience  has  been 
i;iviii-  the  ehildren  daily  instruction  in  Physical  Culture  in  the 
^rjrls  |)lay-rooin. 

Intil  1851  the  Superintendent  himself  preached  two  .sermons 
(.11  Sundays  in  the  chapel,  one  in  the  morning  and  the  other  in 
tl..-  afternoon.  From  1852  to  1866  the  Sui)erintendent  preached 
111  the  morning  and  the  teachers  took  turns  in  C(mducting  the 
aft.Tiioon  lecture.  From  1868  to  1879  the  Superintendent 
pivachcd  a  morning  and  an  afternoon  sermon.  Since  1880  the 
Superintendent  or  the  Principal  and  the  teachers  have  rotated 
ill  cniiducting  the  morning  service  in  the  chapel.  From  18-n)  to 
18(38  the  pupils  attended  a  church  in  the  city  after  the  morning 
service  at  the  Institution.  Since  1869  a  Sunday  School  in  the 
afternoon  has  been  in  operation. 

Ill  the  year  1866  the  lengthening  of  the  term  of  pupilage  to 
ten  years  justified  the  establishment  of  a  "high  class  "  Ir  187-^ 
tlies<-hool  was  reorganized,  being  divided  bv  department' lines' 
ii  pniiiary,  a  grammar,  a  scientific,  or  academic,  as  it  is  now' 
••ailed,  consisting  of  four,  three  and  three  years  respectively 
At  pivsent  the  primary  dei)artment  consists  of  five  grades-  the' 
s^nminiar  departm.Mit,  of  two,  and  the  acad.Miiic  department  of 
two.  At  the  time  <,f  the  above  reorganization,  the  salaries'  of 
the  teachers  weiv  fixed  according  to  departments.  The  Ohio 
school  was  thus  the  first  to  abolish  the  discrimination  mad^  be- 
tween the  hearing  and  the  deaf  teachers  in  regard  to  salaries 

liitil  1867  the  teachers  took  turns  in  supervising  during  the 
study  hour  m  the  evenings  and  mornings.     With  the  advent  of 
th''  .-hops  the  morning  study  hour  was  disc(mtinued.     In  1880 
the  teachers  were  relieved  of  study  duty,  it  being  assigned  tJ 
two  teachers  on  each  side  of  the  house  with  extra  pay     This 
policy  was  abandoned  in  1889,  and  now,  as  before,  each  teacher 
takes  Ins  turn  at  study  duty.     Candles  gave  pla6e  to  oil  in  1846 
i!'"l  Oil.  to  gas  in  1854.     Since  1874  the  Institution  has  been 
turmshed  with  gas  by  the  Penitentiary  free  of  charge;  but  the 
'I'lality  has  at  times  been  so  unsatisfactory  for  the  purposes  of 
evening  study,  that  electric  light  is  being  agitated  with  a  good 
prospect  of  success  in  the  near  future. 

Ill  1868,  in  order  to  obviate  the  overcrowding  of  the  -hoi^H  in 
"!•■  iiHlustrial  department  at  certain  hours  while  they  remained 
'■•"Pty  at  certain  other  hours,  of  .the  day,  a  system  of  rotation

ThiH  system  has  proved  very  satisfactory,  and  has  been  ad- 
hered  to  ever  since  its  adoption,  with  good  result*. 

In  the  early  days  of  the  school,  from  the  first^  articulation 
was  taught  incidentally  to  those  pupils  whose  speech  enabled 
them  to  profit  by  it.  In  1869,  a  systematic  etfort  was  made  in 
oral  work.  The  Superintendent's  report  for  that  year  says: 
"The  teaching  of  articulation  to  semi-mutes,  of  whom  we  have 
a  class  of  thirty-one,  has  been  pursued  through  the  year,  the 
meth(xl  being  to  carry  forward  the  regular  exercises  of  the'  day 
by  oral  speech,  where  intelligible,  having  recourse  to  signs  only 
when  obliged  to.  The  two  teachers  employed— one  a  lady— have 
labored  patiently,  faithfully  and  aptly."  The  next  year  this 
plan  was  given  up  for  that  of  "giving  instruction  in  articula- 
tion and  lip-reading,  by  a  teacher  experienced  and  skillful,  to 
semi-nuites  and  any  others  who  may  desire  it,  neither  attempt-

THK    OHIO    INSTITUTION. 


iiig  nor  (k'siriiiff  to  limit  tiicin  to  oral  and  written  speech  in  the 
ac([ui»ition  of  the  weveral  hrant'liew  of  fjjeneral  education."  Tins 
latter  ])lan  has  since  heen  adhered  to,  and  this  year  tliree 
teachers  are  eni])loyed  in  the  work. 

It  seems  that  in  the  early  days  of  the  school  there  was  no  fixed 
rule  observed  respecting  the  age  for  the  admission  of  pupilg. 
The  Superintendent's  report  for  1858,  in  touching  on  this  sub- 
ject, says ;  "The  course  of  instruction  which  must  be  followed 
to  impart  to  a  deaf-mute  a  knowledge  of  language,  recjuires  con- 
siderable maturity  of  mind,  as  well  as  jmwer  of  application  on 
the  part  of  the  pupil.  If  the  child  is  sent  to  this  Institution 
before  this  maturity  is  attained,  the  first  years  of  instruction 
are  not  only  lost,  but  great  labor  and  care  is  imposed  on  the 
teacher.  The  age  of  twelve  is  regarded  by  experienced  instruct- 
ors as  the  most  favorable  for  commencing  education,  as  by  that 
time  there  is  usually  some  maturity  of  mind,  as  well  as  of  phys- 
ical health,  and  the  p.tipil  is  prepared  to  nnike  the  most  rapid 
advancement.  It  is  much  better  for  the  pupils  and  for  the  In- 
stitution to  admit  none  under  the  age  of  ten  and  generally  'to 
discourage  their  admission  until  they  reach  the  maturity  of 
twelve.  This  course  has  accordingly  been  generally  pursuvd." 
From  1854  to  18()5,  applicants  were  required  to  be  "between  the 
ages  of  twelve  and  twenty  years;"  from  186(3  to  1872,  "between 
ten  and  twenty  years;"  from  1878  to  1880,  "between  six  and 
twenty-one  years,"  and  since  1881,  "between  eight  and  twenty 
one  years." 

-    Since  1891  a  printed  "Course  of  Study"  has  been  in  use  in 
all  the  classes*except  the  articulation  classes. 

Since  1868,  graduating  exercises  have  been  held  at  the  close 
of  the  school  year  in  .June.  The  exercises  consist  of  recitations, 
essays,  orations,  the  presentation  of  diplomas,  and  the  plantiiig 
of  the  class  ivy ;  in  consequence  of  the  latter  custom,  the  front 
walls  of  the  Institution  are  almost  covered  with  ivy.  Diplomas 
are  given  to  those  who  complete  the  full  course  of  study;  and 
certificates  of  honorable  discharge,  to  those  who  reach'  the 
ten-year  limit  without  completing  the  prescribed  course  of  study, 
and  to  those  whose  advancement  does  not  justify  promotion  to 
the  grammar  department.  "Graduation  Day"  is  always  one  of 
-interest,  and  the  chapel  is  yearly  thronged  with  the  parents*  and 
friends  of  the  pupils,  and  others  interested  in  our  work. 

In  1881,  our  chapel  stage  was  remodeled.     It  has  a  working

ni|.!icitv'  (,f  iu>arly  1,000  sqiiarH  fent.  The  front  part,  nxtoiuiing 
alxMit  twelve  feet  from  th(*  foot-li^'lits,  is  (Miclo.stul  in  a  eliaiicel- 
l)ox  scene,  sufficiently  cominodioiis  for  purposes  of  daily  wor- 
ship and  evening  lecture.  The  8|)ace  between  this  and  tlie  stage 
background  furnishes  safe  and  convenient  storage  for  our 
Hcenery  and  stage  fittings,  which  are  the  work  of  a  practical 
scenic  artist. 

Since  1881  the  platform  in  the  chapel  has  been  decorati'd 
every  Sunday  morning  with  flowers  or  a  Horal  design  made  by 
cur  florist.  For  this  pleasure  we  are  indebted  to  Matthew 
Russell,  a  wealthy  gentleman,  who  left  a  legacy  of  !j!20,0(M)  to 
the  Institution.  This  sum  was  reduced  by  litigation  and  com- 
promise to  $lO,8(iH,  which  came  into  the  possession  of  the  Insti- 
tution in  1879.  It  was  decided  by  the  Board  of, .Trustees  to 
erect  a  conservatory  with  a  part  of  the  money,  and  work  was 
cniniuenced  in  the  spring  of  1880.  When  ci)mpleted  it  wan 
christened  the  Rus.s(*ll  Conservatory.  The  central  structure  is

THE  VIIlOIxNIA  INSTITUTION  FOR  THE  EDUCATION 
OF  THE  DEAF  AND  DUMB  (AND  OF  THE  BLIND). 

The  fii-Ht  eftVn-t  looking  toward  the  education  of  any  deaf 
IM  iHon  in  Virginia  was  made  in  the  year  1812,  by  Colonel 
William  Boiling,  of  Goochland  county.  Two  brothers  and  a 
sister  of  this  Colonel  Boiling,  who  were  deaf,  had  been  sent 
to  Edinburgh,  Scotland,  for  education  in  the  school  of  Thomas 
Braid  wood  in  the  latter  jjart  of  the  last  century.  In  a  letter 
dated  "Boiling  Hall"  (Goochland  county,  Va.),  December  10, 
1841,  and  addressed  to  the  Rev.  Jos.  D.  Tyler,  then  principal 
of  the  Virginia  institution.  Colonel  William  Boiling  (above 
mentioned)  writes  as  follows  : 

It  may  he  interesting  to  you  to  be  informed  of  the  efluoiition  of  my 
two  hrothera,  John  and  Thomas,  and  that  of  my  sister  Mary,  who  were 
nil  horn  in  that  situation.  John  Boiling,  the  oldest,  was  sent  by  my 
fiither,  in  the  year  1771.  to  Edinburgh,  and  placed  under  the  care  and 
tuition  of  Thomas  Braidwood.  Thomas  and  Mary  Boiling  followed  l^im 
ill  177.';.  They  all  remained  at  his  school  during  the  Revolutionary  War, 
undull  returned  to  "  Cobbs,"  in  Chestertield  county,  Va.,  the  residence 
of  my  father,  Major  Thomas  Boiling,  in  July.  1783. 

John  died  about  three  months  after  his  return. 

Thnmas's  acquirements  were  most  extraordinary.  He  was  a  ready  pen. 
man,  of  nice,  discriminating  judgment,  of  scrupidous  integrity ;  in  all 
of  his  transactions  his  intelligence  and  tact  in  communication  such  as  to 
iitlnict  the  attention,  entertain  and  amuse  every  company  in  which  he 
associated,  with  the  manners  of  a  most  polished  gentleman;  his  articu- 
lation so  perfect  that  his  family  and  friends  and  the  servants  understood 
him  in  conversation  or  in  reading  aloud. 

My  sister's  acquirements  were  equal  to  his,  though  her  voice  was  not 
sopleasitnt;  yet  she  was  cheerful,  intelligent,  entertaining,  and  indus- 
trl.m.  She  died  in  1826 ;  my  brother  Thomas  in  IHSfi,  in  the  70th  y.'ar 
of  Iiis  age. 

In  the  year  1812  John  Brr.i(lw<iod,  a  grandson  of  my  brother's  pre- 
cei  tor,  arrived  in  the  city  of  Washington.  Governor  Pleasants,  of  this 
county,  then  a  member  of  the  House  of  Itepresentatives  from  this  dis- 
tiict,  kn<jwing  the  situation  of  my  family,  immediately  informed  me 
th.'ieof.  By  my  solicitation  Braidwood  visited  me  in  the  month  of  May 
in  this  yer.r  ( 1812).  His  plans  were  to  rent  a  suitable  house  in  Baltimore, 
hire  servants  and  procure  every  necessary  to  board  all  his  pupils.  War 
having  been  declared  by  the  United  States  against  Great  Britain,  he  was 
thereby,  he  said,  cut  off  from  receiving  remittances  from  London  Cthe 
fact  wMs  he  had  no  funds),  and  that  several  gentlemen  in  Philadelphia 
and  lialtiniore  had  engaged  scholars  to  him  (which  was  not  the  fact), 
ami  promised  to  advance  him  f  (iJO.OO  (?)  to  enable  him  to  establish  his 
institution. 


4  The  V'ir<jinia  Institution. 

Upon  this  Htatoment  Col.  Boiling  accompanied  Braitlwootl 
to  llichnioiKl  uM(l,  upon  his  return,  placed  that  Hum  in  hin 
hanclH,  with  the  undtTHtandinf^  that  Ihh  institution  would  do 
oi)en  on  tho  Ist  of  July  following.  Meanwhile,  during  iiiw 
absence,  Braidwood  was  to  write  to  Col.  Boiling  "  every  wfck 
or  ten  days."  The  next  heard  of  him  by  Col.  Boiling  was  tlmt 
be  was  in  distresa  in  New  York  and  wanted  funds  to  help  hiin 
out  of  his  trouble.  Contrary  to  the  advicx'  of  friends,  Col.  Boi- 
ling sent  him  the  sum  asked  for— $()()(). 

In  November  of  the  same  year  (IHI'2)  Braidwood  returned 
to  Virginia  and  took  charge  of  the  education  of  the  deaf  chil 
dren  of  Col.  Boiling  and  "  was  faithful  and  diligent,  exhibiting 
unecpialled  evidence  of  his  (pialifications  in  his  profession." 

My  sou's  proKreas  wfts  truly  griitifyiiiK  until  the  following  summer 
(18i;j),  when,  being  in  coinnmnil  of  the  troop  of  ciivnlry  of  this  county,  I 
WUH  ordered  to  Norfolk,  where  I  remained  six  mouths  in  military  service. 
From  this  time  he  began  to  relax,  and  on  my  return  had  almost  ahaii- 
doned  his  duties.  •  *  ♦  Ho  suddenly  abandoned  the  Institution  and 
fled  to  the  North,  did  nothing,  and  in  1818  returned  to  llichmond  i)euiii. 
less,  friendless,  and  sctreely  decently  elad. 

He  ajiplied  again  to  Col.  Boiling,  who  set  him  up  in  Man- 
chester, with  Rev.  Mr.  Kirkpatrick,  of  that  town,  as  a  sort  of 
trustee  and  general  supervisor  of  the  school. 

I  again  sent  my  son  to  him,  under  the  eare  of  the  Rev.  Kirkpatrick. 
They  had  live  other  pupils.  He  conducted  himself  for  about  six  months 
to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  the  Rev.  Kirkpatrick;  *  ♦  «  but,  before 
the  third  quarter  ended,  Mr.  Kirkpatrick  was  obliged  to  dissolve  all  fur- 
ther conufction  with  him.     He  died  in  the  year  1819. 

A  most  pitiful  story  of  wasted  talent  and  opportunity ! 

The  following  letter  from  the  Rev.  Jos.  D.  Tyler  to  the  edi- 
tor of  the  Southern  Churchman  (a  journal  which  is  still  enjoy- 
ing a  flourishing  existence)  of  Richmond,Virginia,  dated  March 
4,  1842,  enclosing  a  coj^y  of  the  letter  of  Col.  William  Boiling, 
from  which  I  have  made  such  copious  extracts,  gives  such  suf- 
ficient reasons  for  dwelling  at  length  upon  the  history  of  Braid- 
wood's  career  as  an  instructor  of  the  deaf  in  Virginia  that  I 
deem  it  but  proper  to  insert  it  in  full  in  this  paper :

the  earliest  instance  of  American  deaf-mutes  recieiving  an  education. 

JOS.  D.  TYLER. 

From  what  I  can  learn,  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  Braidwood's 
mctliods  diftered,  in  a  good  many  respects,  from  those  intro- 
duced into  America  a  few  years  later  by  the  Rev.  Thomas  H.  Gal- 
laudet.  A  member  of  the  present  (1893)  corps  of  teachers  in  the 
Virginia  Institution,  Mr.  Hartwell  M.  Chamberlayne,  a  former 
pupil  of  this  Institution,  and  also  of  the  New  York  Institution, 
iuforms  me  .that  he  knew,  many  years  ago,  three  of  Braid- 
wood's  Manchester  pupils,  and  that  they  did  not  seem  to  him  to 
be  nearly  so  well  educated  as  others  who  had  been  taught  in 
the  American  schools  of  later  date.  This  may  have  been  the 
result  of  the  methods  employed  in  their  education,  the  pupils 
in  (juestion  may  not  have  been  naturally  intelligent,  or,  what  is 
still  more  likely,  their  teacher  may  not  have  been  at  his  best 
while  they  were  under  his  instruction.  Mr.  Chamberlayne 
also  knew  one  of  the  sons  of  Colonel  Boiling,  with  whom  he 
had  many  conversations.  He  was  both  brighter  and  seemed 
l)etter  educated  than  the  pupils  of  the  Manchester  {sic)  school. 
The  signs  used  by  all  of  these  pupils  of  Braidwood  differed  in 
some  respects,  so  Mr.  Chamberlayne  says,  from  those  now  in 
use  among  the  deaf  in  America— the  Hartford  signs— but  not 
so  iiiiiterially  as  to  prevent  his  talking  freely  with  those  who 
used  them. 

Dr.  Lewis  Chamberlayne,  of  Richmond,  Va.,  father  of  the 
{gentleman  mentioned  above,  had  an  older  son— a  deaf-mute— 
whom  he  sent  to  tho  American  Asylum  about  the  year  ISSfJ. 
In  1837,  our  Mr.  Chamberlayne,  the  second  deaf-mute  child  in 


6 


The  Virginia  Institution. 


the  family  of  Dr.  Lewis  Cliamberlayne,  was  born,  and  the  fatlior 
then,  for  the  first  time,  seriously  took  into  consideration  the 
subject  of  getting  a  State  school  for  the  deaf  established  iu 
Virginia.  In  pursuance  of  this  idea,  during  the  winter  of 
1837-8,  while  the  legislature  for  that  year  was  in  session,  lie 
induced  Mr.  Barnard  (subsequently  president  of  Columl)iji 
College),  then  a  teacher  in  the  New  York  Institution,  to  come 
to  Eichmond,  bringing  with  him  several  pui^ils  of  the  New 
York  school. 

Mr.  Barnard  made  several  exhibitions  of  these  children- 
some  in  the  State  capitol,  some  in  other  suitable  buildings  in 
the  city.  At  these  exhibitions  most,  if  not  all,  of  the  memljcrs 
of  the  legislature  were  present  and  evinced  their  approval  of 
them  by  the  substantial  evidence  of  passing  the  act  of  March 
31,  1838,  which  was  the  first  actual  step  looking  toward  the 
establishment  of  the  present  Institution.  It  is  an  interestiuo- 
fact  in  connection  with  the  visit  of  these  children  to  Kichmoud 
that  one  of  them  was  Miss  Elizabeth  Budd,  who  afterwards 
became  the  wife  of  the  Eev.  Thomas  Gallaudet,  lately  rector 
of  St.  Ann's  Churcli  in  New  York  and  the  founder  of  the 
Church  Mission  to  the  Deaf. 

The  Hon.  Alexander  H.  H.  Stuart,  of  Staunton,  was  a  mem- 
ber of  this  legislature,  and  was,  with  his  colleague  from 
Augusta  county,  Mr.  D.  W.  Patterson,  so  active  in  support  of 
the  act  of  establishment  that  he  was  named  a  member  of  the 
first  board  of  visitors. 

An  additional  act,  passed  March  27,  1839,  provided  that  the 
Institution  should  be  located  "in  Staunton,  or  within  three 
miles  thereof,"  and  the  sum  of  twenty  thousand  dollars  was 
appropriated  for  "  procuring  a  site  and  for  erecting  suitable 
buildings  thereon.'" 

Ten  thousand  dollars  of  this  appropriation  w^as  to  be  ex- 
pended annually.  In  addition  to  this  the  same  bill  included 
an  appropriation  of  ten  thousand  dollars ^je/*(/WM!</y?  "for  sup- 
port." This  last-named  sum  was  placed  to  the  credit  of  the 
president  and  directors  of  the  "  State  Literary  Fund, "  ami 
none  of  it  was  to  be  paid  out  until  the  Institution  was  in 
"  actual  operation,"  and  then  only  when  "  required  by  the  wants 
of  the  Institution." 

The  following-named  gentlemen  were  appointed  members 
of  the  first  board  of  visitors,  viz :  Hon.  A  H.  H.  Stuart. 
James  Points,  Escp,  Francis  T.  Stribling,  M.  D.,  and  Nicholas 


The  Virginia  Institution. 


0.  Kinney,  Esq.,  of  Staunton  ;  Hon.  James  McDowell  (aftev- 
w;i!  tis  Governor  of  Virginia),  of  Rockbridge  county ;  Rev.  Wm. 
S.  Plummer,  D.  D.,  of  Richmond,  and  Robert  Gray,  Esq.,  of 
Rockingham  county.  The  first  meeting  of  the  board  of 
visitors  was  held,  at  the  call  of  the  President  of  the  Literary 
Fund,  in  Staunton,  on  Monday,  May  6,  1839.  Hon.  A.  H.  H. 
Stuart  was  elected  president  of  the  board,  and  N.  C.  Kinney, 
Esij.,  secretary. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  board  held  July  4,  1839,  an  order  was 
passed  directing  "  the  secretary  to  proceed  East  and  procure 
.siiitiible  plans,  drawings,  &c.,"  for  the  erection  of  buildings. 
Five  hundred  dollars  were  appropriated  to  defray  the  expenses 
of  tlie  secretary  and  otherwise  carry  the  order  into  effect. 

At  a  meeting  held  two  days  before  this  the  proposition  of 
James  Bell,  Esq.,  offering  a  donation  of  five  acres  of  land  to 
the  Institution,  with  the  privilege  of  purchasing  as  much  more 
as  was  desirable  at  the  rate  of  forty  dollars  per  acre,  was 
received  and  accepted. 

It  was  resolved  at  the  same  meeting  that  the  building 
should  be  "of  brick,  with  stone  foundations  and  a  fire-proof 
roof."  A  building  committee  was  appointed  and  a  building 
"  to  cost  $20,000  ordered  to  be  ready  for  occupancy  by  July 
4,  1841." 

On  July  5,  1839,  "  Harvey  P.  Peet,  of  New  York,  was  elected 
pruicipal  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  Institution,  at  a  salary  of  fif- 
teen hundred  dollars  and  board  for  self  and  family,"  and  the 
sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  was  placed  at  the  disposal  of  Dr. 
Peet  "  to  purchase  books  and  suitable  apparatus  for  the  use 
of  the  deaf  and  dumb." 

Dr.  Peet  declined  this  appointment,  and  Rev.  Jos.  D.  Tyler, 
'■  a  teacher  of  e.vperience  in  the  Hartford  Asylum,"  was  elected 
principal,  at  a  salary  of  "  twelve  hundred  dollars  and  board  for 
self  and  family."  At  this  meeting  (October  1,  1839)  it  was 
ordered  that  the  "schools  be  opened  for  the  reception  of 
pupils  on  November  15,  1839,  a  building  suitable  for  this  pur- 
pose having  been  rented  in  the  town." 

The  first  pupil  registered  in  the  deaf  mute  department  was 
EUziibeth  Baker,  of  Pendleton  county,  the  date  of  registration 
bt>iiig  November  30,  1839.     Two  days  later  the  second  pupil 


was  registered. 


November  20,  1839,  Mr.  Tyler  repovtrd  that  a  teacher  was 
needed  in  the   deaf-mute    department,  and   "Job  Turner,  a 


8 


The  Virghiia  Institution. 


pupil  of  the  Hartford  Asylum,  was  appointed  "  the  first  teacj.er 
of  the  deaf  in  the  Virginia  Institution.  Mr.  Turner,  aftor  a 
service  in  the  Institution  of  nearly  forty  years'  duration,  retiic'l 
from  the  profession  and  has  since  devoted  his  talents  and 
energy  to  the  work  of  a  missionary  to  the  deaf  of  the  Souili, 
under  the  auspices  of  Saint  Ann's  Mission.  In  this  work  hj 
is  still  (February  10,  1893)  engaged,  and  the  vigor  of  Lis 
appearance  gives  ground  for  the  hope  that  he  may  long  con- 
tinue in  it. 

So  the  Virginia  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf 


THOMAS  K.    DOYLE. 


and  Dumb  and  of  the  BUnd  (it  has  always  been  a  dual  Insti- 
tution) was  launched. 

Since  November  30, 1839,  six  hundred  and  eighty-three  deaf- 
mute  children  have  been  received  within  its  walls. 

During  the  four  years  of  the  civil  war  its  buildings  were  used 
by  the  Confederate  States  authorities  as  a  military  hospital, 
but  the  school  was  continued,  making  use  of  the  buildings  of 
the  Virginia  Female  Institute  in  Staunton.  Grass-grown 
furrows  and  ditches  on  the  lawn  in  front  of  the  main  drive  are 
still  plainly  to  be  seen,  marking  the  site  of  the  tents  in  which 
convalescent  soldiers  lived  during  those  troublouf,  times. 


The  Vlrghua  Inst'iuiion. 


]?y  reason  of  this  double  removal  from  and  back  to  the 
buiklitigs  many  of  the  archives  of  the  school  were  lost,  and  it 
is  iuijiossible,  almost,  at  this  day  to  give  a  complete  history  of 
niiniy  interesting  transactions.  Since  1839  the  Institution  has 
received  but  one  legacy,  that  of  five  hundred  dollars  from  the 
late  John  J.  Goodson,  of  Norfolk,  Va.,  from  the  proceeds  of 
wliich  the  Goodson  Gazette  (printed  and  published  by  the 
pr.pils  of  the  Institution)  takes  its  name.  The  five  acres  of 
laud  donated  for  a  site  by  Mr.  Bell  was  given  in  1839. 

By  reference  to  the  code  of  Virginia  (ed.  1887)  I  find  that 
s/jec«a7 appropriations  to  the  amount  of  one  hundred  and  thirteen 
tliousand  nine  hundred  and  twenty-one  dollars  and  six  cents 
(!i:;ll3.921.06)  have  been  made  by  the  legislature  for  the  use  of 
the  Institution.  The  most  of  this  money  was  expended  for 
buildings,  for  repairs,  for  heating  and  lighting,  etc.  None  of  it 
was  expended  upon  "  salaries  "  or  "  supjjort." 

In  addition  to  the  amount  named  above  as  specially  appro- 
priattMl,  the  regular  annuities  for  purposes  of  support  have 
amounted  in  the  fifty-three  years  of  the  existence  of  the  Insti- 
tution to  the  gross  su'::  of  one  million  three  hundred  and  thirty 
thousand  dollars.  A  part — a  comparatively  very  small  part — of 
this  amount  (say  $25,000)  was  expended  for  building  purposes. 
Tlie  remainder  went  for  annual  support. 

8o  we  see  that  there  has  been  appropriated  in  all,  within  a 
period  of  a  little  over  fifty  years,  by  Virginia  to  the  education 
of  her  deaf  children  and  her  blind  children  the  sum  of  one 
million  four  hundred  and  forty-three  thousand  nine  hundred 
and  twenty-one  dollars  and  six  cents  ($1,443,921.06).  Average 
for  the  fifty-three  years,  $28,878.43.  As  the  Institution  is  dual, 
a  huge  part  of  this  went  to  the  support  of  the  School  for  the 
Blind.  There  is  no  way  that  I  know  of  now  of  finding  out  ex- 
actly how  much  went  to  each  class. 

The  present  annual  appropriation  is  $35,000.  There  are 
present  this  session  ninety-two  deaf  children  and  fifty-two 
blind,  making  a  total  of  one  hundred  and  forty-four  of  both 
('hisses. 

These  are  taught  in  seven  classes,  regularly  graded.  We 
have  a  teacher,  of  course,  for  each  class.  In  addition  there 
is  a  teacher  of  articulation  and  lip-reading,  who  has  twenty-five 
pupils  in  her  different  classes.  The  pupils  of  the  classes  in 
iii'ticiilation  all  .'itteiid  the  vegulav  manual  classes,  and  go  at 
ceiliiin  hours  to  the  teacher  of  articulation.

The  Virginia  Institution. 


There  is  one  teacher  of  free-haud  and  crayon  drawing,  uid 
one  of  painting  in  oil.  All  of  the  girls  are  taught  plain  net  .tie- 
work.  For  the  boys  there  are  shops  in  which  are  taught  lli(. 
trades  of  the  carpenter,  the  cabinet-maker,  the  house-painlcr, 
the  shoemaker,  the  tailor,  and  the  printer.  There  are  two' 
religious  services  for  the  children  on  every  school-day.  On 
Sunday  there  is  the  usual  service  in  the  morning,  and  immtMJi- 
ately  thereafter  a  Sunday-school,  in  which  the  children  are 
taught  by  their  regular  teachers,  tlie  same  distinction  of  classes 
being  observed  as  prevails  in  the  school  of  the  week. 

Sunday  afternoon  there  is  a  lecture  by  one  of  the  teachers 
(in  turn). 

There  are  two  Christian  associations  among  the  deaf  pu])ils, 
one  for  the  boys  and  one  for  the  girls.  They  hold  separate 
meetings  every  Sunday  night.  Both  of  these  meetings  are 
conducted  by  members  of  the  associations,  and  both  have  done 
and  are  doing  much  good  in  the  school. 

There  are  two  literary  societies  in  the  Institution:  one, 
"the  De  I'Epee,"  oji  the  girls'  side;  the  other,  "the  Goodson 
Literary,"  on  the  boys'  side.     Both  hold  weekly  meetings. 

The  Institution,  when  first  organized,  had  two  principals, 
coequal  in  authority.  Dr.  Jos.  D.  Tyler  had  charge  of  tlie 
deaf-mute  department,  Dr.  J.  C.  M.  Merilatt  of  the  bliml 
department.  This  arrangement  continued  until  the  death  of 
Dr.  Tyler,  in  January,  1852,  when  Dr.  Merilatt  was  chosen 
principal  of  both  departments.  This  arrangement  has  been 
maintained  to  the  present  day. 

The  "  Virginia  Association  of  the  Deaf "  was  organized  in 
Eichmond,  Virginia,  in  the  month  of  July,  1891,  holding  its 
initial  meeting  in  the  Hall  of  the  House  of  Delegates. 

The  second  annual  meeting  of  this  association  was  held  in 
the  Music  Hall  of  the  Institution  in  August,  1882.  At  tbis 
second  meeting  there  was  a  largely-increased  attendance  upon 
the  part  of  the  deaf  of  the  State  and  many  names  of  new  mem- 
bers were  added  to  the  roll.  Of  this  association,  Mr.  Jno.  W. 
Michaels  is  i^esident  and  W.  C.  Hitter  is  secretary.  Its 
objects  are  chiefly  to  promote  the  interests  of  the  deaf  of  Vir- 
ginia in  every  manner  possible,  and  a  gopd  start  has  been  made 
in  this  direction. 

The  next  annual  meeting  will  be  held  in  July,  1893,  in  the 
city  of  Lynchburg.

'All  Act  to  establisli  ail  Asyliiiu  for  tlie  Education  of  Deaf  and  Dumb 
peisDiis  in  tlie  State  of  Indiana,"  approved  January  I'j,  1844,  now  report, 
that  they  iiave  si)aie(l  no  pains  in  tiie  discliarse  of  tlie  important  duties 
assigned  tlieiii  by  tiie  last  Legislature,  and  tiiat  their  efforts  to  jirejiare 
the  way  for  opening  tiie  Asylum  have  been  attended  with  an  encourag- 
ing'decree  of  success. 

They  have  rented,  for  the  use  of  the  Institutiou  I'or  one  year,  at  an 
exiK'iise  of  i^'.Vl),  a  large,  commodious  and  pleasantly  situated  building, 
Willi  pleasure  grounds  of  siillicient  extent  to  afford  the  pupils  ample  op- 
piirt  unity  tor  exercise  and  recreation.  Furniture,  bedding  and  other  re- 
(jiiisilc  articles  for  the  Asyliini,  have  been  inircliased  at  a  cost  cd'  about 
.Sl.ooo.  The  services  of  a  Steward  and  Matron,  every  \va\  ((ualilied  to 
sii|)erinteiid  its  domestic  concerns,  have  also  been  procimd.  Mr.  William 
Willard,  a  deafmute,  educated  in  the  .'.merican  Asylum  at  llarttord, 
('i>iiii..lias  been  engaged  to  take  charge  of  the  department  of  instruction, 
at  a  salary  of  Ssiki  per  annum.  .Mr.  Willard  was  formerly  employed,  for 
several  years,  as  an  instructor  in  the  Ohio  Deaf  and  Dumb  Asylum;  and 
hecomes  to  us  reconuneiided  by  the  Principal  and  Trustees  of  tliat  Insti- 
tution, as  eminently  fitted  for  the  station  he  proposes  to  lill.  He  had 
charge  of  a  small  school  of  deaf-mutes  in  Indianapolis,  during  the 
winter  of  184;5-'4,and  it  is  presumed  no  one  who  then  witnessed  the  rapid 
iiiiproveinent  of  the  iiupils  under  his  iusnaiction,  will  be  disposed  to 
dmibtthe  extent  or  throughness  of  his  qualilicationsas  a  teacher. 

The  reipiisite  prejiaratory  arrangement  having  been  previously  made, 
the  Asylum  went  into  operation  on  the  first  Monday  of  last  October. 
Fourteen  imjiils  were  present  at  the  commencement  of  the  session.  Two 
liave  since  been  added,  making  sixteen  in  all;  which  is  the  inimber  now 
connected  with  the  Institution. 
Of  these  I  is  from  Carroll  county. 

1  is  front  Fayette  county. 

1  is  from  Vermillion  county. 

1  is  from  Kandolph  county. 

1  is  from  Clarke  county.

2  are  from  Bartholomew  county    and 

3  are  from  Tippecanoe  county. 

Tlie  Trustees  are  iiai)i)y  to  be  able  to  say,  that  tlii'y  regard  the  Asvliiin 
as  having  opened  witii  the  most  cheering    prospects;  and,  that  under  the 
smiles  of  a  kind  Providence,  iu)tliing  but  the  continued  ('ountenaiicc  and 
liberality  of  the   J.egishiture  will   l)e  necessary  tv)  insure  its  perunuient 
success.    An  institution  so  benevolent  in  its  design,  certaii.ly  'Vserves  to 
be  regarded  with  the  warmest  interest  and  solicitude  by  ail  friends  of  jm. 
inanity.     No  i>ortion  of  tlie  community  lias  stronger  claims  on   tiie  syni- 
l)atiiy.  or  stands  more  in  need  of  the  fostering  care  of  the  commonwealtli 
than   tlie  deaf    uid  <lumb.      Experience  has    abundantly   siiown   that 
tiu)Ugh  deprived  of  si.eec  h  and  liearing.   their  minds  can    be  ai)proache(i 
through  other  avenues  by  the  lights  of  knowledge,  and  they  can  he  there- 
by   (lualilied  i.)r  stations  of  usefuhiess  and   tlie  higliest  rational  eiijov- 
nieiits.     Indeed,  tlie  dilTerence  Ijetweeii  the  uneducated  and  tlie  educated 
mute  is  aliiiust  incredible.     Tlie  former    "wends  his  weary  wav"  tlni)iii;h 
life  in  ignoraiici^  and  obscurity  -often  an  oli.ject  ofdiarity,  and  almost  a 
burden  to  himseir:  but  the  latter,  gladdened    by  tlie  genial  ray  orkmiwl 
edge,  and   fitted  for  the  discharge  of  duty,  becomes  a  blessing  tn  liis 
friends  and  to  society,  acts  well  his  ])art  as  a  member  of  the  great  Inmian 
family    fiijoys  the  iiresent,  and   looks   forward  to  the  future  with  clieer- 
tiilnes-  ;nid  hope. 

l>ut  It  is  unnecessary  to  urge  upon  your  honorable  body  the  claimsdfa 
cause,  which  former  assemblies  have  espoused  with  a  zeal  that  dnrs  hon- 
or to  the  state:  and  the  importance  of  which  we  know  you  will  not  tail 
to  appreciate. 

We,  therefore,  close  this  reiiort.  by  respectfully  r  commeiidiiig  that. 
with  a  view  of  promoting  the  more  extensive  usefulness  of  the  Asyiinn, 
the  jiresent  assessment  for  its  lieiudit  uf  two  mills  on  tlu;  hundred  ddllars 
be  raised  to  one  cent  on  the  hundred  dollars.  This  would  alfdid  a  siim 
sutlicieiit  to  enable  the  Hoard  of  Trustees  to  admit,  free  of  charge,  all  in- 
digent pujiils  who  might  wish  for  the  present  to  be  received  into  the  In- 
stitution whereas,  nith  the  limited  means  now  at  the  command  (d  liif 
Trustees,  many  such  applications  must  be  refused.  JiCt  it  be  borne  in 
mind  that  the  parents  and  friends  of  those  deaf-mutes,  who  would  wi.sli 
to  enjoy  the  advantages  of  the  Asylum,  are,  with  comparatively  few  ex- 
ceptions, in  indigent  circumstances  -and  it  seems  hard  that  they  should 
be  shut  out  from  the  Institution  for  the  want  of  means,  when  solightan 
assessment  as  one  cent  on  the  hundred  dollars  woiUd  put  them  in  posses 
sion  of  its  privileges  without  exjiense. 

We  would  lurther  recommend  that  the  house  and  lot  which  have 
been  rented  for  the  present  use  of  the  Asylum,  be  made  its  permanent 
property  by  purchase,  provided  they  can  be  obtained  on  just  and  equit- 
able terms. 

It  will  be  perceived  from  section  11  of  the  act  above  referred  to,  that 
it  devolves  upon  the  House  of  Itepresentatives  to  choose,  during  their 


lilt sfiit  st'ssion,  live  trustees  ill  lit'ii  of  those  appointed  at  tlie  last  (;eii-

The  above  statement  of  exiienditures  and  moneys  collected  made  in 
accoidaiice  witii  the  requisition  of  the  13tli  section  of  the  act  to  establish 
siiid  Asylum,  has  no  reference  to  the  amount  paid  to  teacher  for  past 
services  under  joint  resolution,  nor  to  any  receipts  of  funds  from  taxes 
assesseil  and  collected  for  this  object. 

ill  the  collection  and  payment  of  t!ie  revenue  of  last  year  into  the  State 
Treasury,  no  distinction  was  made,  in  the  amount,  so  as  to  show  what 
was  collected  on  account  of  deaf  and  dumb.  It  is  estimated  that  of  the 
revenue  thus  paid,  the  proper  proportion  collected  on  this  account,  was 
about  .^2,122.75,  which,  after  deducting  the  amount  paid  to  AVilliam 
Willard,  by  autliGrity  of  joint  resolution,  .'^l,lti8.75,  would  leave  in  the 
state  Treasury  of  i\m  *' md  about  35(54. 

The  Prustees  in  cr  itiiig  the  expenses  above  mentioned,  have  antici- 
pated this  fund  as  v.ell  m  that  to  be  collected,  with  the  revenue  of  the 
present  year;  and  have  had  some  advances  from  the  State  Treasury,  (as 
ai)peared  to  be  contemplated  by  the  law  organizing  the  Institution,  and 
ludispensably  necessary  to  carry  their  plans  into  effect),  leaving  the 
principal  portion  of  said  expenses  yet  to  be  met,  relying  upon  the  present 


N  8 

General  Assembly  to  make  such  uppropriation  as  will  meet  all  expendi- 
tares  and  ()l)lij,'ati()ns  incurred  by  the  'I'rustees.

FIFTY   YEARS'    PROGKESS.

'Tis  a  long  time  ago,  is  1830,  and  yet  in  that  year  amidst  the  streams 
and  i'orests  of  the  uncultivated  State  of  Indiana  were  living  persons  not 
only  (leaf  and  therefore  mute,  but  I  presume  also  very  dumb,  for  in  this 
.State  at  that  time  there  were  no  schools  wherein  they  could  be  educated 
-therefore  they  must  have  been  deaf-mute  and  dumb.  According  to 
tilt'  census  of  that  year  there  were  in  the  .State  144  deaf-mutes.  In  1H40, 
{inn-  had  increased  to  812,  and  still  no  provision  had  been  made  to  edu- 
'.atc  them.  Whether  it  seemed  dark  to  the  people  at  that  time,  it  certain- 
ly does  to  us  looking  back  through  tiie  vista  of  vanishing  years^-intel- 
lectual  darkness  and  gloom  surrounding  t!ie  ;]12  deaf-mutes  who  were 
with  the  jieople  and  yet  not  of  tiiein. 

I'.iit  as 'tis  darkest  just  before  dawn,  so  in  1840.  Tlie  dawn  was  soon 
to  burst,  the  first  golden  rays  of  tiie  light  of  education  for  the  deaf  were 
soon  to  tinge  with  humanity  the  hills  ami  dales  of  our  beloved  State, 
{•ausiiig  liappinessand  perfecting  citizenship  from  lake  to  river.  It  came 
in  ls4i,  scintillated  a  few  brief  moments  and  tlieii  died  away,  leaving 
oiici'  more  only  the  darkness. 

From  the  very  commencement  of  the  State's  organization,  there  were 
not  wanting  tliose  who  kindly  remembered  our  deaf  and  dumb,  and 
fondly  desired  to  introduce  into  this,  the  advantages  for  education  which 
WHO  enjoyed  by  tiie  more  favored  mutes  of  other  American  Coinmon- 
wrallhs.  Vet  there  were  so  many  (thjects  dMnandiiig  attention  in  the 
iiii'.iiu'v  of  political  institutions,  that  no  provision  w.is  made  by  the 
Lfuislatine  for  the  education  of  our  inutvs  even  in  other  State  Asyiums, 
where  they  would  have  been  gladly  received.  Tlien  came  the  excite- 
ment of  speculation,  whicii,  for  several  years,  entirely  engrossed  the 
piihlic  attention.  And  it  was  not  till  the  time  of  the  State's  deepest 
ailversity,  that  the  cause  of  mute  education  received  its  lirst  impetus. 
Ill  the  fall  of  1841,  Mr.  William  ('.  IJales.  since  deceased,  then  the  sheriff 
<d'  \  onuillion  county,  placed  his  mute  son  in  the  Ohio  I  ..titiition.  The 
visit  which  he  then  paid  that  Asylum,  interested  him  more  deeply  than 
'"■lore  ill  the  enteri.ri.se  of  educating  ii,,.  d.-af  and  dumb.  Tlie  ne.xt 
y.vir  li!'  was  elH,'te.l  t  >  ivprci-nt  his  c  );nity  in  the  {/.'.^-isiature. 

Some  time  during  tiie  year  1S41,  James  McLean,  a  nmte.  and  a  reputed 
giiidiiate  of  the  New  York  Institution,  commenced  a  scluxd  in  I'arke 
wunty.  I'liis  school  was  continued  for  more  than  a  year,  but  at  no 
tiiin'  contained  nunv,  than  si.x  pupils,  and  three  or  four  of  these  were

and  from  liis  representalimis  Mr.  Cotlin,  tlien  the  representiitive  from 
I'arke,  became  interested  in  tlie  subject. 

A  joint  resolution  was  subsc(iuently  passed  which  provided  for  My 
McLean's  compensation.  As  it  is  the  first  act  of  the  Legislature  in  r,." 
«ard  to  the  deaf  and  dumb  on  the  statute  books  of  Indiana,  and  ;is  it 
freely  jind  fully  asserts  tlie  ol)ligation  of  the  State  to  educate  them,  it  is

able elforts  to  ameliorate  as  far  as  possible  the  condition  of  an  unlort- 
uiiate  portion  of  our  people,  and  that  efforts  of  that  kind  on  liie  i.art  of

Atthemeetingoftlie  Legislature  in  1^^4•2  3,  the  two  members  above 
referred  to  consulted  togetiier.  and,  as  the  result  of  theii'  delil)eratioiis, 
Mr.  JJales,  on  the  4tli  of  February,  presented  a  hill  wlilch,  after  s(Mi)e 
amendments,  passed  botii  branches.    It  reads  as  follows: 

'•An.  Act  t'> [n-ocidc  iiicinixto  xii/tftorf  <i  Jkiif  and    Dmoh  Axi/luin  in  t/iv  ^Intc'cf

"Sec.  \.  lie  il  riKtrti'd  hji  flu-  (^inn-iiI  Axxcinhhj  of  th,  St, it,'  if  Ttidlain', 
That,  ill  addition  to  the  sum  of  live  cents  levied  on  each  one  hiiiidml 
dollars  of  property  taxable  in  ibis  State  for  the  ordinary  expenses  ot  the 
State  government,  tiiere  shall  be  levied  two  n-ills additional  on  eacii 
one  hundred  dollars' worth  of  property  in  this  state.  fVn-  the  i)iirposeof 
supporting  a  deaf  and  (liiiiib  asylum,  and  the  necessary  expenses  attend- 
ant thereon,  in  this  State. 

"Sec.  2.  Said  sum  of  two  mills  shall  be  collected  in  the  same  funds,  and 
])aid  into  the  treasury,  in  the  same  manner  as  the  State  revenue,  and 
shall  be  paid  out  by  the  Treasurer  of  state,  for  the  education  [and]  main- 
tenance of  deaf  and  dumb  i)ersoiis  of  Indiana,  pursuant  to  existing  pro-

'J'his  was  i)assefl  by  the  unanimous  'onsent  of  all  parties.  Indeed,  to 
enumerate  its  friends  would  be  to  lention  the  munes  of  the  aliole 
Legislature;  and  one  as  much  as  another,  probably,  deserves  the  cieditof 
its  enactment.  It  was  .i  noble  act,  and  the  (irst  instance  on  record 
where  a  people  were  taxed  for  such  a  purpose!

bers  reflecting  the  Hwakeiied  interest  of  the  people,  still  further  enlwinc- 
ed  by  the  glorious  work  already  commenced,  felt  itself  in  duty  boniid  to 
take  c'.iarge  of  and  defray  the  expenues  on  behalf  of  the  State  of  the 
private  school  now  under  way.  A  board  of  incorporating  trustees  <'()ii^ 
sisting  of  nine  members.was  ai)pointed  January  15,  1844,  and  at  once 
proceeded  to  organize  the '-Indiana  Asylum  for  Deaf  and  Dumb."  yu; 
AVillard,  who  had  performed  such  miglity  work,  was  naturally  and  justly 
the  chief  ollicer  with  title  of  principal,  and  under  the  new  arrangement 
the  lirst  session  was  commenced  October  1st,  1844,  in  rented  quarters,  "a 
large  and  commodious  building  with  pleasure  grounds  of  suHicient  extent 
to  afford  the  pupils  ample  opportuntiy  for  exercise  and  recreation,"  the 
same  having  lieen  obtained  at  a  rental  of  $m)  per  year.  Tiie  number  of 
pupils  starting  in  was  sixteen,  coming  from  the  following  counties. 
IJartholomew,  2;  Henry,  1;  Carroll,  1;  Marion,  2;  Clarke,  2;  .Momae.l; 
Dearborn,  1;  Randolph,  1;  Fayette,  1;  Tippecanoe,  3;  A'ermillion,  I. 

The  members  of  the  incorporating  IJoard  of  Trustees  were  His  Excd- 
loncy  James  Whitcomb,  Jioyal  Mayhew,  Esq.,  Hon.  John  H.  Thom))son, 
Rev.  Henry  Ward  lieocher,  Rev.  Phincas  I).  (Jurley,  Rev.  Love  Jameson! 
Livingston  Dunlop,  M.  I).,  Hon.  James  Morrison  and  Rev.  Pres.  Matt- 
hew Simpson.  The  question  of  a  permanent  location  was  left  open,  and 
the  Governor  was  authorized  to  receive  propositions  on  the  subject.  .Mr. 
Willard  was  allowed  a  compensation  from  tiie  commencement  of  iiis 
school. 

It  has  been  usual  to  date  the  origin  of  the  Institution  from  October  1. 
1844,  because  it  was  then  formally  taken  under  the  control  of  tiie  State. 
It  had  really  been  in  successful  operation  for  a  year  previously,  audits 
history  really  dates  from  October,  1848. 

It  had  been  contemplated  from  the  first,  to  ultimately  appoint  a  Prin- 
cipal who  could  hear,  and  speak.  This  intention  was  carried  out,  in 
June,  184(),  by  tiie  Hpi>ointment  of  .Tames  S.  Riowii,  his  duties  to  com- 
mence on  the  1st  of  August  following.  The  highly  valued  services  of 
:Mr.  Willard  were  continued  in  the  capacity  of  an  assistant. 

The  school  remained  in  its  first  quarters  until  October  1st,  184t),  when 
the  number  of  pupils  pressing  for  admission  became  so  great  steps  were 
taken  to  procure  larger  and  more  commodious  quarters.  On  October 
1st,  184(1,  the  school  was  opened  in  a  large  three-story  building  of  impos- 
ing  appearance  and  for  which  a  rental  of  >t^A)()  per  year  was  jiaid.  A 
permanent  location  not  having  been  agreed  upon,  a  warm  contest  now 
sprang  up  between  various  parts  of  the  State  as  to  who  should  have  the 
location,  the  rivalry  principally  being  between  Bloomington  and  Indian- 
apolis. The  citizens  of  the  former  place  made  an  offer  of  a  donation  in 
land  and  casli  amounting  to  nearly  .'iii4,(KH)'and  the  commissioners  of  the 
county  agreed  to  appropriate  as  revenue  to  the  Institution  one  cent  on 
each  one  hundred  dollars'  worth  of  real  and  personal  property  within  tiie 
county.  The  superintendent  at  the  time,  Mr.  .I-mes  Rrown,  entered  into 
quite  an  extensive  correspondence  with  the  heads  of  other  similar  insti- 
tutions in  tiie  Tnited  States,  concerning  the  location,  and  laid  the  same 
before  the  Committee  of  Education  to  which  the  question  had  been  re- 
ferred.   They  finally  decided  not  to  accepr  the  liberal  offer  of  JMooniing- 


13 


toil,  and  tliereupon  located  the  Institution  at  Indianapolis  because  ot^its 
bfiii«-  till!  capital,  a  railroad  center  accessible  from  all  parts  of  the  State, 
and  fm-  otiier  good  and  sullicient  reasons. 

At  this  same  session  of  the  General  Assembly  steps  were  taken  for  the 
imrcliiiHe  of  ii  site,  and  the  board  of  trustees,  after  diligent  and  careful 
scaiTli,  selected  the  present  location,  eighty-four  acres  being  purchased 
atlirst  and  subsequently  thirty-eight  additional,  the  whole  costing 
mm  This  land  is  now  all  held  by  the  Institution,  save  eighteen  acres 
thiit  were  transferred  to  the  Indiana  Female  Reformatory  in  IHtiO,  and 
ciie-(|uarterof  an  acre  transferred  to  the  C,  St.  L.  ct  P.  K.  K.  in  1883.- 
Tlie  balance  of  the  land  originally  acquired  is  now  valued  at  8  27(5,000 
The  wisdom  of  the  selection  could  not  have  been  greater,  for  a  more  de- 
sirable location,  all  things  considered,  could  not  have  been  made  in  or 
amuiid  Indianapolis. 

After  securing  the  ground,  the  trustees  turned  their  attention  to  build- 
ing, and  secured  an  increase  of  the  rate  of  taxation.  Trevionsly,  at  the 
sessionof  the  (lener.il  Assembly  of  1814-5,  the  assessment  was' raised 
from  two  to  live  mills  on  each  hundred  dollars'  worth  of  property  in  the 
State,  it  was  now  raised  from  live  to  fifteen  mills.  This  was  to  provide 
for  tlie  erection  of  the  permanent  buildings.  :M()ney  sutficient  was  ob- 
tained and  buildings  with  a  capacity  of  !()(>  to  175  were  at  once  erected 
and  were  ready  for  occupancy  October  2nd,  1850.  During  the  school  year 
]ivevi()us  the  number  of  pupils  in  attendance  was  125,  but  during  the 
lirst  year  ni  the  new  building  the  number  increased  to  141. 

Thus  f'airly  started,  the  school  tlu-ived  and  grew.  Divine  Providence 
secnuHt  to  smile  upon  it  and  its  yearly  course  was  constantly  in  advance. 
TliH  (leaf  seeking  admission  grew  ia  numbers  as  the  State's  population 
increased,  and  repairs,  alterations  and  new  buildings  were  added  from 
time  to  time  until  now,  in  the  spring  of  189;i,  the  school  boasts  of  accom- 
modations for  850  pupils;  of  twenty-one  teachers  in  the  intellectual  and 
imirin  the  industrial  departments;  of  104  acres  of  land,  valued  at 
S:iTt;.(KHi;  of  buildings  valued  at  ii?240,()(K);  one  of  them  being  a  large,  line, 
WW  school-house  containing  twenty-four  school- rooms  and  library, '  lect- 
ure and  art  rooms. 

When  the  school  was  lirst  opened,  it  was  maintained  upon  the  proceeds 
of  a  tax  of  two  mills  upon  each  one  hundred  dollars'  worth  of  property 
which  was  voted  by  the  (Jeneral  Assembly,  and  which  was  increased' 
tiom  time  to  time  until,  in  1852,  it  yielded  an  income  of  nearly  $40,(X)0 
jMH'  year.  When  the  State  constitution  was  adopted  in  1851,  the  tax  was 
(liscoiitimied,  and  the  support  of  the  Institution  made  a  direct  charge 
upon  the  State  Treasury,  where  it  remains  to-day.  The  amount  appro- 
linated  hy  the  (ieneral  Assembly  for  maintenance  and  repairs  has  varied 
from  time  to  time,  but  now  amounts  to  !?t>5,000  aunnally. 

Ill  t'.ie  beginning  pupils  were  charged  for  board  and  tuition,  except  they 
lilpd  a  certillcate  setting  out  the  fact  of  their  poverty.  This  was  degrad- 
ing and  shameful  and  was  so  considered,  and  in  a  very  short  time  the 
law  was  changed  and  everything  made  free  to  all  those  too  deaf  to  be 
fthicated  in  the  common  schools.  And  in  this  liberality  Indiana  has  the 
in-oiul  distinction  of  having  been  the  tirst  State  in  the  rnion  to  throw

Mr.  "WiUard  served  as  principal  two  years,  being  succeeded  by  "jjn„es 
S.  I.rown,  with  the  title  of  superintendent,  a  man  of  most  sterling  (pial- 
ities,  laithfulness  of  purj.ose  and  h)ve  for  the  work.  .Mr.  Willard  coi 
tinued  his  connection  with  the  school,  however,  as  a  most  valued  in 
structor,  for  twenty  years.  In  1H52,  Mr.  IJrown  resigning,  the  Hevereiul 
1  liomas  Maclntire  was  appointed  superintendent  and  continued  assuch 
lor  twenty-seven  years.  Under  him  the  Institution  made  its  name  and 
fame.  He  loved  the  school  and  the  school  loved  him.  'I  ogethor  they 
kept  pace,  marching  steadily  onward  and  upward,  i)lacing  tlie  banner  of 
the  Institution  in  lofty  position,  there  being  v^mblazoned  on  its  folds 
three  stars,  one  for  laithful  and  loving  care,  one  for  thoroughness  of 
educational  work  and  one  for  purity.  Following  him  came  William 
Ulenn  and  Eli  ]'.  Baker,  each  serving  (ive  years  as  superintendent  the 
latter  resigning  in  July,  ISSU.  at  wlr^-h  time  the  present  superintend- 
ent was  appointed. 

The  history  of  thelndiana  Institution  is  a  grand  history-a  history  of 
men  and  women  of  purt^  and  lofty  ideas  and  deeds;  a  history  of  a  ,'iost 
generous  State;;  a  history  of  eighteen  hundred  and  seventv-live  boys  and 
girls  who  have:entered  its  portals  seeking  light  intellectually,  spiritually 
industrially;  a  history  of  mothers  and  fathers  who  with  heart-ache  and 
sob  have  delivered  their  little  ones  into  strange  hands  that  tliev  might  be 
taught  the  way  toleternal  life  through  enlightened  intellect^  a  history 
that  makes.us  wish  for  success  and  happiness  in  future  well-doing 
JMany  of  the  men  and  women  who  have  watched  the  progress  with  eager 
eyes,  many  ofjhe  boys  and  giris.  have  passed  beyond  the  dark  river,  and 
we  teei'tis  well  with  them  because  of  the  instruction  here  given"  and

XOX  ATTKNDANCK. 

The  matter  of  non-atteiulaiu-e  is  a  serious  evil;  and  one  that  should  be 
remedied  in  some  prompt,  ellicient  manner.  The  non-attendants  are  of 
twocl'jsses:  Those  who  enter  the  scliool  but  do  not  remain  as  loujr  as 
they  might  and  should,  and  those  wlio  do  not  enter  at  all.  So  far  as  tiie 
former  class  is  concerned,  tiie  records  of  tiie  Institution  show  that  since 
November  I,  1884,  127  pupils  have  entered,  remained  a  year  or  two,  or 
more,  and  then  dropped  out  without  discharge,  when  they  were  entitled 
to  longer  continuance.  A  small  y.er  cent,  of  this  number  can  be  account- 
ed for  by  deatlis  and  removals  from  State,  but  f idly  8o  per  cent,  of  it 
must  be  charged  np  to  the  foolish  whims  of  the  child,  or  to  neglect  or 
cupidityof  the  parent.  The  following  table  will  show  this  part  of  tlie 
evil  at  a  glance:

.Showing  "drop  outs"  to  be 127 

Tiie  census  of  1890,  an  account  of  which  is  given  elsewhere,  showed  a 
total  (if  1,780  deaf-mutes  in  the  State.  Of  this  number,  (;9  were  between 
one  and  six  years  of  age,  or  under  school  age  (8  to  21)  at  this  time,  and 
726  were  between  six  and  twenty-one  years  of  age.  Of  the  726,  there  were 
ill  the  school  at  the  time,  or  had  been  previously,  298,  and  since  1890  115 
more  have  been  admitted,  thus  leaving  313  deaf-mutes  in  Indiana  who 
have  never  been  in  this  school  at  ail.  If  we  allow  20  per  cent,  for  errors 
and  for  these  who  have  attended  other  schools  for  the  deaf,  250  still  re- 
main, who  have  never  received  the  benelits  of  school  trainiiig,  and  I  re- 
gard tliis  estimate  as  very  low.  Addhig  to  this  number  the' 127  "drop 
outs,"  we  have  377,  which  represents  the  non-attendance. 

COMPUL8OKY  EDUCATION. 

Tlie  State  supports  an  institution  for  the  proper  training  of  the  deaf 
at  great  expense,  not  only  for  the  good  of  the  deaf  themselves,  but  for  the 
well'aie  and  prosperity  of  itself.  If  parents  and  guardians  do  not  avail 
tlieniselves  of  advantages  offered,  it  should  certainly  be  the  duty  of  the 
.State  to  step  in  and  compel  the  attendance  of  their  children,  as  a  matter 
ofseir-protection.  The  welfare  of  the  child  must  be  considered  more 
sacred  tiiat  tlie  right  of  the  parent  to  control  it. 

TIIE  SCHOOL  AVOUK. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  school  year  in  1890  a  new  course  of  study  was 
arraiijrfd;  the  school  period  was  re-arranged  into  live  primary,  two 
inteiiiiediate  and  tliree  academic  grades,  eacli  grade  taking  one'  year 
The  manner  of  grading  was  clianged,  as  was  also  the  mannef  of  teaching 
Tlie  upper  four  grades  were  provided  with  four  teachers,  each  on  special 
subjects,  tlie  claases  rotating  from  one  teacher  to  another.  Out  of  270 
pupils  who  were  in  school  the  preceding  June  and  who  were  entitled  to 
vctuni,  141  were  denied  advancement  because  of  not  meriting  it  In 
short,  a  conii)lete  revolution  in  school  work  took  place,  and  we  anxiously 
looked  forward  for  results.  We  have  not  been  disappointed.  Close  and 
faitlitui  attention  was  given  to  the  work  by  teachers,  who  had  much  to 
<  0  ofcause  of  the  change.  Text-books  during  the  lirst  three  years  being 
(lone  away  with,  original  work  had  to  be  provided  by  them.  History  and 
geography  took  the  form  of  evolution,  and  began  in  original  work  by  the 
teaclKus,  who,  taking  the  Institution  as  a  starting  place,  worked  outward 
'iiitii  the  text-book  was  reached.  Our  course  ot  study  was  termed  by 
•■oinpoteni  critics  as  "rather  high"  for  our  classes,  but  the  pupils  in  the 
mam  mastered  it,  as  is  shown  by  their  better  averages  than  under  the  old

periiiit,  and  tlie  result  liiis  been  most  gnitifyinKtu  all  coneerned.

implies,  it  was  designed  and  espet-iaily  arranged  lor  class-work  in  tiic 
Hcliool-rooms,  either  taking  the  place  of  or  supplementing  the  onhiunv 
text-ljook,  and  devoted  almost  wholly  to  langmige. 

Six  teachers'  nistitntcs  liave  been  been  held  during  the  year.  At  eacli 
meeting  specially  prepared  i»apers  have  been  read,  which  were  followed 
by  critical  discussion.  Kverything  i)ertaining  to  school-roooru  work  has 
been  considered,  and  the  good  resulting  Iherefroni  has  been  great. 

One  year  ago  attention  was  called  to  the  fact  that  seventeen  classes 
were  being  taught  by  fourteen  teachers,  this  being  acconii)lishc(l  by 
having  three  classes  taught  in  the  afternoon  for  two  and  a  lialf  lioiu's 
by  regular  morning  teachers,  who  served  without  extra  compensation, 
As  this  was  all  the  instruction  these  classes  received,  tlie  arrangeiiicnt 
was  very  unsatisfactory,  fair  to  neither  i)upil  nor  teacher.  To  remedy 
this  nnitter,  three  new  teachers  have  been  emi)loyed. 

<)l!.\I,-ArU.\I,    CLA.SS. 

In  my  last  annual  r,eport  I  wrote  as  follows:  '•]  am  still  of  (.pinion 
that  a  i)nrely  oral  department  should  be  started,  separate  and  distinct 
from  the  rest  of  the  school.  While  1  believe  tlnit  of  any  given  numlicv 
of  deaf-mutes  taken  at  random,  only  a  minority,  and,  perhaps,  only  ii 
small  minority  can  be  ,s/(m',s.H/V(^/// educated  by  the  purely  oral  method, 
which  excludes  signs,  still,  it  is  that  minority  which  1  wish  to  provide' 
for,  and  I  think  we  have  it  at  the  present  time  in  our  school." 

It  has  been  found  impo.ssible  under  existing  conditions  to  start  an  oral 
department,  "separate  and  distinct"  from  the  rest  of  the  school,  hut  the 
nextcest  thing  iias  been  (ione  in  tiie  escal)lisnmenc  or  an  orai-auiai 
class.  A  young  lady  of  New  York,  who  jjo.ssesses  a  good  knowledge  of 
the  work,  has  been  called  to  take  cliarg(M)f  the  class,  and  is  niakinj;' 
a  good  beginning.  I  believe  the  end  ui  the  year  will  demonstrate  the 
wisdom  of  the  -innovation."  Every  pupil  entering  scliool  should  be 
educated  by  this  method  and  taught  to  speak,  if  it  is  possiljle  to  do  so 
—it  is  his  right:  it  is  our  duty.  IJiit  as  .stated  above,  1  believe  tliis  is  im- 
practicable with  the  greater  number  it  remains  then  for  ns  to  ascertain 
who  can  and  who  cannot,  be  succe.ssfally  educated  by  it.  To  do  tliis 
each  new  pui)il  should  be  given  a  fair  chance  for  speech  and  eilucatioii 
by  siieecli,  llrst;  afterward,  education  by  other  methods,  if  failure  results. 
AVe  must  bear  in  mind  that  there  anMh-af  and  semi-deaf;  muteand  semi- 
mute  -that  a  method  benelicial  to  one  may  not  be  to  another  and  r/ir  r,  rsn^ 
To  accomplisli  the  greatest  good  fertile  greatest  number,  the  very  broad- 
est latitude  must  be  allowed,  and  a  scho(d  to  be  successful  must  not  he 
bound  down  to  any  one,  or  any  two  methods.  In  order  to  attain  this 
success,  this  Institution  bases  its  work  on  the  following

pils as  cannot  he  taujrlit  l)y  the  oral  method,  but  who,  at  the  same  time, 
sliiiw  some  capacity  for  articulation  and  lip-readinp,  should  certainly  be 
drilled  therein  by  special  teachers.  I  believe  we  have  here  attlie 
IMfseiit  time  seventy-live  or  more  such  pupils.  To  give  them  tlie  i)roper 
iiistniction  would  retiuire  three  teachers.  We  have  now  but  tlu'  one, 
1111(1  1  recouimcnd  that  two  additional  shoidd  be  employeil. 

Sl'KCI.M.   STriUKS. 

I'mler  this  head  aro  Rrouped  drawing,  painting,  wood-carving,  clay- 
luiKleliug,  designing  and  physical  culture.  For  thes.;  studies  we  have 
two  special  teachers.  Special  work  in  jienmanship  has  been  discontinvied, 
fiiHi  teacher  looking  after  )iis  own  class  in  this  matter. 

Drawing  is  taught  to  the  entire  primary  d'.-partment  and  to  one  grade 
nt'tlielnterme((iate,  and  jiainting  (under  which  is  included  charcoal 
ski'tchiuK,  iiastel  work,  and  the  work  in  oil  and  water  colors)  to  the  girls 
"t  till'  ac;ule;iiic  department.  Splendid  progress  lias  been  made  in  both. 
I'liysi(  :i!  culture  is  taught  to  the  same  classes  as  drawing,  and  has 
proved  (juite  a  success. 

Thus,  we  have  in  tlie  intellectual  department  seventeen  regular  clasu 
t.'Mchers,  one  teacher  of  articulation  and  lip-reading,  one  teacher  for  the 
'inilaural  class,  one  teacher  for  drawing,  painting,  wood-carving,  etc., 
iind  one  teacher  of  physical  culture,  nuiking  twenty-one  in  all.

THE  INDUSTHIAL  DEPARTMENT. 

1  am  triad  to  be  able  to  state  that  this  department  is  at  last  in  most 
excellent  condition.  The  improvement  began  in  IWtl.  when  the  LtRis 
lature  made  it  j)ossible  for  us  to  abandon  that  "foreign  growth"  fm  .„' 
industrial  school-the  "lease  system"-^'jy  making  a  special  api.rc„riV 
tion  of  S8,()00.0(),  with  which  we  were  to  (it  up  the  shops  and  pa\  .L,',' 
larly  employed  instructors.  The  lirst  payment  from  this  fund  was  made 
in  August,  181U.  (Since  then,  new  machinery  and  other  shop  ai)piiunct;s 
have  been  added  from  time  to  time,  in  printing  olliee,  shoe  shop  and 
cabinet-shop,  until  now  tiiey  are  in  lirst-class  condition. 

The  matter  of  teaching  trades  to  the  deai  is  one  of  very  great  import- 
ance, and  takes  rank,  in  my  estimation,  with  intellectual  training  \ 
cultivated  mind  and  hand  c.tn  go  further  and  do  more  than  a  cultivated 
muid  alone.  JMaimal  training  schools  for  hearing-speaking  youth 'ue 
now  being  demanded  everywhere,  but  they  are  not  of  such  vital  import 
anco  to  them  as  they  are  to  the  deaf.  In  sucli  schools  for  tiie  former 
tlm  so\eium  is  to  teach  underli/inf/ prinriple,  ot  many  trades  and  noc 
thoroughly  any  individual  trade,  while  for  the  deaf  at  this  Institution 
our  aim  is  to  not  only  teach  the  underlying  principles,  but  to  go  a  Ktei) 
further,  and  teacli  thoroughly  iaiUridual  tnidrn.  Instead  of  being  called 
industrial  schools,  or  schools  for  manual  training,  we  should  rather  call 
ours"tradeschools,"  which  more  nearly  gives  the  correct  idea  Most 
manual  training  school  authorities  hold  that  the  more  the  shop  becomes 
a  factory,  the  less  it  is  a  school.  With  our  object  of  individual  trades  in 
viaw,  our  shoi)o  must  necessarily  become,  more  or  less,  factories  ami  yet 
are,  m  the  highest  degree,  schools.  The  factories,  however,  exist  as  an 
incident  of  the  school,  and  not  the  cause  of  it. 

It  is  not  hoped  to  make  any  of  the  shops  self-sustaining.  They  are 
operated  simply  as  a  means  of  education.  Instructions  have  been  given 
10  the  foremen  to  /ear/,  the  trude^^tc.  have  a  ten-cent  article  made  properly 
if  it  takes  a  dollar's  wortii  of  material  -  to  do  otherwise  will  be  to  lose 
sight  of  tiie  end  for  which  the  shop  was  established. 

The  cabinet-shop  as  now  arranged  is  in  realitv  a  "school  of  joinery" 
Wherein  the  underlying  principles  of  carpentry  and  cabinet-making  are 
taught  together,  to  the  end  that  a  boy,  on  leaving,  may  have  a  fair  knowl- 
edge of  not  only  one  trade,  but  of  several.  Regular  lessons  will  be  givpn 
on  the  characteristics  of  the  various  woods;  metl.ods  of  "laying Out" 
work;  the  care  and  use  of  tools;  methods  of  mortising,  sawing,  planing; 
the  making  of  all  kinds  of  joints,  single  and  in  combhiation;  fastening 
by  glue,  pins,  nails,  etc.;  the  cleaning  and  poli.shing  (,f  woods;  painting, 
staining,  varnishing,  etc.  'I'his  "school  of  joinery"  lias  been  strengthened 
by  the  establishment  of  a  fully  eiiuipped  "wood-turning  shop."  The 
lathe-room  contains  ten  latest  improved  turning  lathes  of  various  sizes, 
one  large  scroll  saw,  one  combination  graduated  steel  top  sawing  table 
with  rip  and  cut-off  saws,  one  planer,  one  cross-cut  saw  and  one  wood 
moulding  machine. 

In  the  printing  otlice  stands  a  Campbell  printing  i>re.ss  and  a  Nonpareil 
job  press,   both   of  which   .ire   operated  by  electricity,    (he  power  being 


21 

t'liriiislit'd  by  the  electric  lighting  station  belonging  to  the  Institution. 
The  Ciiuipbdl  press  has  ii  capacity  of  1,800  impressions  per  hour.  The 
piuaiiliernalia  of  the  office  is  complete  in  every  way.  In  this  industry 
isffivt'ii  instruction  in  book  and  news  composition,  press-work  and  bind- 
ing. As  a  means  to\/ard  the  end  a  live-column  folio  weekly  newspaper 
is  published,  and  is  '•ailed  The  Silent  IlDoxicr. 

Tiie  shoe-shop  is  designed  as  a  "school  in  leather  work."  At  the 
present  time  instruction  is  given  mostly  in  boot  and  shoe-making.  The 
pupils  are  taught  to  measure,  cut  and  lit,  as  well  as  the  mere  making. 
To  tiiis  will  be  added  some  time  in  the  future  a  series  of  lessons  in  leath- 
er work  and  otlier  trades. 

Iiistniction  is  given  to  the  girls  in  all  kinds  of  house-work,  in  cooking, 
ill  pliiiu  and  fancy  needle-work,  and  in  dress-making,  cutting,  titting  and 
(Inipiiijr-  'I'he  girls  in  the  academic  departmeiit  are  also  instructed  in 
driiwiiig,  painting,  modelling,  designing  and  wood-carviug.  IJoys  may 
als(>  be  admitted  to  these  classes.

ent and  attested  by  the  seal  of  the  Institution  under  his  charge;  and  tlie

"See.  2765,  It.  S.  The  I'reasnrer  of  State  shall  forward  each  account  so 
filed  with  him  to  the  treasurer  of  the  proper  county,  who  shall  cause  it 
to  be  paid  out  of  the  com  y  treasury  to  the  Treasurer  of  State;  and  such 
county  treasurer  shall,  in  the  name  of  the  county,  and  by  suit,  if  necessa- 
ry, collect  the  amount  of  such  account  from  the  parents  or  estate  of  sucii 
pupil,  as  the  case  may  be,  where  there  is  ability  to  pay." 

XII.  The  course  of  study  in  the  Institution  is  so  arranged  as  to  cover 
ten  years  and  is  divided  into  primary,  intermediate  and  academic  courses. 
The  primary  and  intermediate  courses  embrace  spelling,  reading,  writing, 
arichmetic,  geography,  history  and  grammar.  The  two  courses  aredivid- 
ed  nto  seven  grades,  live  primary  and  two  intermediate,  and  the  time  re- 
quired to  complete  them  is  seven  years.  All  pupils  who  wish  it,  and  who 
will  avail  themselves  of  it,  are  allowed  the  benefit  of  these  courses  of 
study.  The  academic  course  comprises  a  three  years'  course  of  advanced 
primary  and  intermediate  work,  and  a  study  of  the  sciences.  ( tnly  pnnils

XIII.  Thesuperintendent  shall  have  the  power  to  at  any  time  dis- 
charge a  pupil  from  the  Institution  for  inability  to  receive  an  elucat'oii. 
for  failure  to  make  the  necessary  progress,  and  for  violation  of  the  rules 
of  the  Institution.  He  may  also,  when  he  thinks  the  facts  warrant  it, 
extend  the  period  for  instruction  in  individual  cases.

MARKING. 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  teachers  to  make  and  record,  monthly,  a  careful 
estimate  of  the  work  or  each  of  their  pupils  in  all  branches'  of  study 
Tliisestimute  shall  be  based  upon  the  fidelity  and  success  with  which 
tlie  pupils  have  done  assigned  work,  and  also  upon  their  success  in  oral 
aiul  written  tests  which  have  been  employed  as  an  element  of  teaching 
and  the  answers  to  which  have  not  been  valued  numerically.  It  shall 
not  be  based  upon  daily  marking  of  recitations,  nor  upon  deportment 
iiorupon  stated  examinations.  ]iut  the  teacher  may  keep  such  mem- 
oiaiula  of  pupils'  work  as  are  deemed  necessary. 

Tliese  recorded  monthly  estimates,  teachers  must  average  twice  a  year 
-February  1  and  .June  1.  The  monthly  estimates  and  the  two  averages 
must  tie  certified  to  the  superintendent. 

TiiiHO  estimates  of  the  monthly  success  and  progress  of  pupils  are  to 
be  made  on  a  scale  of  30  to  UK),  as  follows:  100,  perfect;  iK)  excellent- 
HI  I,  very  good;  TO,  good;  (iO,  tolerable;  50,  poor;  40,  very  poor;'  m  and  below' 
failure.  ' 

Tlo'  '•.-)  mark'  may  be  used  to  indicate  in  some  degree  the  relative 
standing  of  pupils  in  their  class,  but  under  no  circumstances  must  any 
estimate  be  given  which  is  not  recorded  in  figures  a  multiple  of  5.  It  is 
suggested  that  the  standard  of  pupils  be  primarily  estimated  as  emlicnt 
rail  ovjmor,  Hiid  then  modified,  provided  the  higher  and  lower  estimates 
can  be  readily  made. 

It  shall  also  be  the  duty  of  the  piincipal  to  examine,  and  when  neces- 
sary, revise  the  teaciiers'  monthly  estimates  of  their  pupils'  proliciency 
and  to  iipprove  the  same  when  averaged  in  Februarv  and  .Tune  He 
sliall  give  teachers  such  instruction  and  other  assistance  in  estimating 
the  iiroliciency  and  progress  of  tlieir  pupils  as  will  secure  requisite 
uniformity. 

TKUMS    AND  GKADK   PAYS. 

A  graded  system,  to  be  what  it  should  be,  must  possess  flexibility  in 
(mlerto^ecure  needed  uniformity  of  attainment  in  the  several  classes

OUADK   DAYS. 

.lannary  I  and  March  1*)  shall  he  known  as  (Iraih^  Days.  Atthi'Sf 
times  such  pupils  as  it  would  heiiellt  may  l)e  transferred  to  tlit!  next 
lower  or  to  the  next  higher  grade,  as  the  case  may  lie,  to  remain  tlieicin 
for  one  term  or  longer,  us  the  exigencies  of  the  ease  reciuire. 

To  illustrate:  .\  luipil  may  fail  to  pass  his  grade  in  .lune,und  yiit  he.so 
prcdicieiit  as  to  make  it  u  hardship  to  compel  him  to  spend  another  entire 
year  in  the  same  grade,  when  one  term  may  remedy  the  delioieiicy. 
.\gaiii,  it  fieiinently  happens  that  a  pupil  may  l)e  very  prollcient  in  one 
or  more  studies,  and  very  dellcient  in  another:  l»y  transferring  him  t() 
the  next  lower  grade  he  has  the  opportunity  of  overcoming  the  (leliciency 
and  does  not  lose  much  in  missing  the  regular  instruction  in  the  studies 
in  which  he  is  prolicient.  the  length  of  the  term  l)eiiig  short. 

It  is  l)elieved  that  sli<»ut  terms  and  grade  days  will  excite  i)ui)ils  to 
greater  elTorl.  'I'liey  will  know  that  on  .lunuary  land  March  I,')  they 
will  he   "weighed"  and  will  not  wish  to  Ik;  "fouiul  wanting." 

Nothing  herein  contained  sliidl  curtail  the  power  grantinl  the  principal 
l>y  tht>  superintendent  to  makt!  changes  in  extraordinary  cases  at  any 
time. 

PROMOTION. 

.\t  the  close  of  the  annual  session  there  shall  be  held  a  written  cxaiii- 
ination  for  all  grades  exc(-pting  Primary  tirades  1  and  2,  and  the  Ac;i- 
demic  (Jrades,  to  he  conducted  by  special  examiners  as  may  he  arriui^^i'd

superintendent.

Promotion  for  the  purpose  named. 

Proniotions  from  all  other  grades  shall  be  upon  the  average  of  the 
two  reiiuired  averages  of  monthly  istimates  combined  with  th.e  esti- 
mates of  the  written  examinations  in  such  proportion  as  the  superinten- 
dent may  direct.

riie  great  increase  in  1880,  however,  was  more  apparant  than  real- 
tlie  inaccuracy  of  previous  enumerations  was  simply  "caught  up"  in  the 
accuracy  of  the  1880  census,  which  was  probably  the  most  perfect  enu- 
meration ever  taken.  Tiie  proportion  in  1880  was  one  in  every  1  480 
which  seemed  to  have  been  tlie  proportion  in  Europe  for  many  long 
y^'ars.  During  all  this  time  tiie  true  projwrfiou  in  the  United  Slates  liau

JJut  the  conditions  in  the  State  and  the  Ignited  State:*,  or  in  one  decade 
compared  witli  anoLher,  are  not  necessarily  the  same.  Excessive  in- 
crease m  popnlation;  excessive  mortality,  from  accidents  or  ordinary 
causes;  the  absence  of  epidemics;  geographical  position;  race  charac- 
teristics; better  medical  skill  and  care  of  sick  children  because  of  "better 
times,"  etc.,  etc.,  exert  a  positive  intkience,  in  given  territories  orperiods 
which  must  show  results.  The  difference  is  all  the  more  marked  w  lien  in- 
exact enumerations  are  made,  as  seems  to  liave  been  the  case  prior  to  18S0.

INDUSTKIAL    KD(T;AT!0N. 
(Act   1H91.) 

WiiKKKAs,  The  instruction  of  theii  pupils  in  some  industrial  art, 
v,"."teby  they  may  b;>  enabled  to  earn  their  own  support,  is  recognized 
to  be  an  important  work  of  the  Indiana  Institutions  for  the  Education 
of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  the  Hlind  and  the  Feeble-Minded;  and, 

WiiKUKAs,  At  the  present  time  the  industrial  education,  or  certain 
parts  thereof,  of  the  pupils  in  some  of  the  said  institutions  is  being  con- 
ducted by  contractors  who  give  instruction  in  return  for  the  labor  of  the 
pupils;  and, 

WiiKUKAs,  Such  instruction  has  been  in  the  past,  and  now  is,  unsatis- 
factory, insullicient,  incomplete  and  partial;  and, 

WiiEUKAs,  It  is  manifestly  against  good  public  policy  that  the  labor 
oi  tlie  inmates  of  the  benevolent  institutions  of  the  State  should  be 
made  a  matter  of  private  gain;  and, 


*v  54

diana .School  for  Feeble- Mind  Youth,  acting  under  the  control  and  super- 
vision of  the  respective  hoards  of  trustees  of  said  institutions  are  hereby 
autiiorized  and  re<iuired  to  provide  for  appropriate  industrial  education 
of  their  pupils  under  similar  rules  and  methods  to  those  of  scliohistic 
instruction,  namely,  by  means  of  teachers  hired  by  Superinteiulents  as 
other  teacliers  are  iiired  and  subject  on  all  points  to  the  same  control  as 
all  other  teachers,  oflicers,  ana  employes  of  ihe  said  institutions. 

Sec.  11  Tiie  industrial  education  of  the  said  pupils  in  t..e  aforesaid  in-

striu'tion  for  tiie  industrial  education  in  the  aforesaid  institutions  and 
school  shall  be  a  charge  upon  and  defrayed  out  of  the  regular  niani- 
tenaiice  funds  of  the  same  except  as  hereinafter  provided.

shall  be  authorized  to  dispose  by  sale  of  any  material  used  in  tiie  indus- 
trial education  of  the  pupils  in  tlie  same  manner  as  now  provided  hy 
law  for  the  sale  of  waste  or  siiplus  material:  Provided,  That  no  mateniil 
so  used  by  the  pujjils  shall  be  disposed  of  at  a  lower  price  than  the  cur-

And,  further  provided.  That  if  tiie  niateiial  to  be  disposed  of  he  avail-

pay  for  any  material  or  supplies  that  they  may  purchase. 

Sec.  t).  The  superintendent  of  each  of  the  inscitiiLions  and  the  scliod

said  receipt  with  the  Auditor  of  State,  who  shall  give  him  a  quietus  for 
the  amount,  and  shall  place  tlieamount  of  the  same  to  the  credit  of  the

The  Tennessee  Deaf  and  Dumb  School 


The  first  legislation  looking  to  the  establishment  of  a 
school  for  the  deaf  and  dumb  children  of  Tennessee  was  pro- 
posed and  persistently  advocated  by  the  late  General  Joha 
Hocke,  of  Grainger  county,  when  a  member  of  the  Senator- 
ial \  ninch  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State ;  and  the 
t'riemls  of  deaf-mute  education  in  Tennessee  have  ever  held. 
General  Cocke  in  grateful  remembrance  as  the  one,  above 
all  others,  to  whose  benevolent  impluses  and  wise  action 
the  institution  owes  its  existence. 

On  the  2()th  of  December,  1«4:!,  General  Cocke  secured,  as: 
an  amendment  to  a  bill  then  })ending  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  State  school  for  the  blind  at  Nashville,  the  in- 
sertion of  an  appropriation  of  one  thousand  dollars'  for  put- 
ting in  operation  a  school  for  the  deaf  and  dumb  at  Knox- 
ville  This  bill  passed  the  Senate  on  December  21,  1843,. 
and  was  finally  passed  in  the  House  on  January  29,  1844. 

Governor  James  C.  Jones  apjwinted  Messrs.  R.  B.  Mc- 
MuUen,  Joseph  Estabrook  and  D.  R.  McAnally  to  constitute 
the  first  Board  of  Trustees.  These  gentlemen  met  in  the 
counting-room  of  Cowan  &  Dickinson,  at  Knox  viHe,  on  July 
27,  1844,  and  organized  by  the  election  of  Rev.  R.  B.  Mc- 
-Vaillen,  President,  and  Rev.  D.  R.  McAnally,  Secretary. 

The  President  was  requested  to  address  letters  to  the 
American  Asylum  at  Hartford,  to  the  New  York  Institu 
tion,  and  to  other  schools,  then  in  operation  asking  for  inw~ 
formation  to  aid  the  trustees  in  the  proper  organization  of 
the  school,  and  he  was  also  requested  to  address  a  circular 
letter  to  the  people  of  Tennessee  asking  for  information  in. 
regard  to  the  deaf  and  dumb  of  school  age  throughout  the 
State. 

After  considerable  correspondence  the  Board  of  Trustees 
secured  the  services  of  Rev.  Thomas  Maclntire,  then  a 
ter.cher  in  the  Ohio  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb    to

take  charge  of  the  Tennessee  school,  as  principal  and  in 
atructor.  Mr.  Maclntire  entered  upon  his  duties  April  l.t 
1845,  and  served  the  institution  faithfully  and  satisfactorily 
tor  five  years  when  he  resigned  and  returned  to  his  home  in 
IMno. 

The  school  was  begun  in  rented  premises  in  what  was 
known  as  the  Churchwell  House,  an  old  residence,  in  EuHt 
Knoxville.  Upon  assuming  his  duties  Mr.  Madntiro  set  U. 
work  at  once  to  procure  needed  furniture,  Ac,  and  advertis- 
od  the  opening  of  the  school  on  April  14th.  Pupils  arrive! 
slowly,  but  on  the  first  Monday  of  June,  1845,  Mr.  Maclntire 
began  the  work  „f  instruction  with  a  class  of  six  pnpik 
fhe  number  in  attendance  soon  increased  to  nine  pupils 
with  which  the  first  session  of  the  school  closed  on  the  (irst 
Monday  of  the  following  September. 

The  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  realized  from  the  origi- 
nal appropriation  was  supplemented  by  private  subscrip- 
tions  to  the  amount  of  about  four  hundred  dollars,  so  that 
the  money  available  for  the  expenses  of  the  first  session  of 
the  school  was  about  fourteen  hundred  dollars. 

The  succeeding  legislature  was  urged  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  to  make  an  appropriation  for  buildings  but  failed 
to  do  so.  In  response  to  the  appeal  of  the  Trustees,  who  had 
with  great  zeal  undertaken  the  work  of  fstablishing  the 
sch  ol  upon  a  permanent  basis,  the  people  of  East  Tennes- 
see subscribed  about  five  thousand  dollars  for  the  erection 
of  a  building  and  the  continuance  of  the  school.  This  money 
was  mostly  contributed  in  sm  Jl  suras  and  was  secured  by  the 
efforts  of  Messrs.  W.  G.  McAdoo  and  J.  M.  Davis,  agents  ap- 
pointed by  the  Trustees  to  canvass  Knox  and  adjoininp 
counties  in  the  interest  of  the  institution. 

The  money  thus  raised  was  used  mainly  in  the  erection 
ofa  th-  c-story  brick  building  twenty-five  feet  wide  by 
eighty  feet  in  length,  now  constituting  the  east  wing  of  the 
main  building  according  to  the  original  design.  Except 
for  these  special  efforts  on  the  part  of  the  Trustees  and  the 
gener.us  response  of  the  public  the  school  would  probably 
have  been  closed  indefinitely  in  1846,  as  the  building  then 
occupied  could  be  retained  no  longer  and  no  means  were 
available  to  procure  other  quarters  without  securing  special 
private  contributions. 
On  June  8th,  1846,  Calvin   Morgan,  Esq.,  of  Knoxville, 


Thk  Tknnessee  Deaf  and  Dumb  School,.  5 

generously  donated  to  the  school  two  acrea  of  land  situated 
immediately  west  of  the  limits  of  the  town  at  that  time,  but 
now  in  the  heart  of  the  city. 

Six  years  later,  June  25,  1852,  the  Trustees  purchased  from 
the  estnte  of  Mr.  Morgan,  for  two  thousand  dollars,  three  and  a 
half  acres  of  land  adjoining  the  original  lot  on  the  north  and 
eiii^t,  andon  May  21,  1858,  two  and  a  half  acres  additicmal 
were  purchased  on  the  west  for  five  thousand  eight  hundred 
dollars  making  the  present  premises  coniala  eight  acres,  the 
total  cost  of  which  has  been  seven  thousand  eight  hundred 
dollars.  The  grounds  of  the  institution  front  toward  the 
south  on  Asylum  street,  being  bounded  on  the  north  by  Vine 
street  and  lying  between  Locust  street  00  the  east  and  Broad 
•street  on  the  west.  The  premises  are  kept  in  good  order,  with 
flower  gardens,  walks,  and  shaded  lawns  on  the  east,  south 
and  west,  with  boys'  play  ground  and  out-buildings  on  the 
north. 

The  main  building  is  fifty  by  ow  hundred  feet  having 
three  stories  and  an  attic.  It  was  erected  in  1848.  the  corner 
stone  having  been  laid  with  interesting  public  ceremonies  on 
the  13th  of  May  of  that  year.  Among  other  publications 
lately  received  from  the  family  of  the  first  principal,  Mr.  Mac- 
lotire,  was  a  pamphlet,  printed  by  James  C.  *nd  John  L. 
Moses,  at  the  office  of  the  Knoxville  Register,  giving  an  ac- 
count of  the  proceedings  at  the  laying  of  this  corner-stone 
with  the  address  of  Rev.  Thomas  W  Humes  on  that  occasion- 
As  evidencing  the  public  interest  in  the  school  at  that  time 
it  may  n  t  be  inappropriate  to  give  here  a  part  of  the  account 
of  the  exercises. 


"The  corner-stone  of  the  main  edifice  of  the  Tennessee  Insti- 
tution for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  at  Knoxville. 
was  laid  on  Saturday,  M,.y  13th,  1848,  by  Mt.  Libanus  Lodge,

A  fervent  prayer  was  offered  by  Rev.  W.  E.  G.  Cunning 
ham.  Chaplain  ol  the  Lodge.     The  ceromouios  of  laying  the 
corner-stone  were  conducted  by  B.  R.  Strong,  W.  M  •  James 
W.  CampHoll,  «,  W.,  and  Josepn  L.  King,  J.  W.    The  exer- 
ciseb  closed  with  the  singing  of  an  ode  by  the  Lodge  after 
11  most  appropriate  and  eloquent  address  by  Rev.  Thomas 
W,  Humes. 


This  main  building  has  a  wide  cornice  with  high  Corin- 
thian c;olumns,  and  though    not  of  the   present  style  of 
architecture  is  «|uite  a  handsome  and  imposing  structure  it 
being,  to  many  minds,  more  attractive  than  the  more  recent 
additions  of  modern  style.     Probably  the  first  consi.leraMe 
use,  for  outsid«^  work,  of  white  Tennessee  marble  which  has 
lately  become  so  famous  as  a  building  stone  and  i  )r  monu- 
mental purposes,  was  in  the  construction  of  th     marble 
stairs  at  the  front  of  the  main  building  erected  forty-five 
years  ago.    There  was  of  this  marble  work  about  one  thou- 
sand cubic  feet,  and  it  was  thought  by  some  persortsatthat 
time  to  be  an  extravagant  expenditure  of  money,  but  with 
scarcely  any  repairs  or  care  the  work  stands  to-day  as  good 
us   when   fir-t    constructed,    thus  demonstrating  the  real 
economy  of  the  original  large  outlay.     In  I  S52  the  western 
wing  corresponding  to  the  one  on  the  -ast— twenty-five  by 
eighty  feet  and  tnree  stories  high  was  constructed  accord- 
ing to  the  original  plan.     Later  additions  have  been  made 
of  a  two-story  chapel  building  forty  by  sixty  feet,  a  two- 
story  building  for  industrial  purposes  thirty  by  fifty  feet 
two  school-room  buildings  thirty-five  by  sixty  f-et  each  and 
three  stories  high,  a  twostory  building  twenty-five  by  thir- 
ty feet  for  laundry  purposes,  and  an  eight-room  frame  house 
for  principal's  residence. 

The  total  iirst  cost  of  buildings  and  grounds  has  been 
about  one  iiundred  thousand  dollars. 

The  last  building  ereuu^d    one  of  the   school  buildings 
mentioned  above~was  built  in  1891,  at  a  cost  of  ten  tliou- 


The  Tknnejwkk  Drap  ani>  Dumb  Schoo*,.  7 

Hand  dollars.  An  appropriation  for  such  a  building  had 
been  long  needed  and  its  necessity  recognized  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  General  Assembly,  bnt,  in  answer  to  the  appeal 
therefor,  thdy  had  plead  the  straitened  financial  condition 
of  the  State  and  had  put  off  the  matter  from  session  to  ses- 
sion. 

The  Trustees  renewed  the  application  to  the  Forty  sev- 
enth General  Assembly  which  convened  in  Nashville  on 
the  first  Monday  in  January,  1891.  and  the  matter  was  put 
in  tiie  hands  of  Hon.  W.  L  Ledgerwood,  Representative 
from  Knox  county.  The  growth  of  the  school  had  made  an 
additional  building  a  necessity,  but  the  committees  having 
recommended  that  no  special  appropriations  be  made  for 
any  purpose  of  the  kind  and  other  efforts  having  'won  al- 
ready killed  in  the  Legislature,  it  seemed  as  though  there 
was  little  hope  of  securing  what  at  least  nine  tenths  of  the 
members  had  decided  could  not  be  then  granted ;  but  on 
the  last  day  of  the  session  Mr.  Ledgerwood  left  a  sick-bed 
and  went  to  the  House  and,  in  committee  of  the  whole  on 
the  appropriation  bill,  he  secured  an  amendment  giving 
the  institution  ten  thousand  dollars  for  this  building  by  an 
earuost  and  eloquent  appeal  which  entitles  Mr.  Ledger- 
wood  to  be  held  with  General  Cocke,  the  author  of  the  leg- 
islation establishing  the  school,  as  one  of  its  truest  friends 
and  chief  benefactors. 

Orgranization  and  Government. 

The  original  act  of  the  C  neral  Assembly  of  1844  under 
which  the  school  was  estal  ished,  was  superseded  by  an  act 
passed  January  31,  1846,  b^  which  it  waa  enacted,  "That 
the  Institution  for  the  instruction  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb 
now  in  existence  and  operation  in  the  town  of  Knoxville  be 
and  is  hereby  incorporated  under  the  name  and  style  of 
the  Tennessee  Deaf  and  Dumb  School  under  the  control  and 
management  of  a  Board  of  Trustees  composed  of  the  follow^

Mc.Vnally,  Joseph  Estabrook,  Rev.  T.  Sullins,  James  H. 
Cowan  and  Campbell  Wallace,  and  their  successors  in  of- 
fice." The  three  original  trustees  were  ret-ainfid  by  ^bis 
act  and  three  others  added.  Subsequently  the  membership 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  was  increased,  the  number  now  be-

"We  regard  a  well  manuKed  institution  of  this  character  a» 
the  |)roude8t  monument  we  could  have." 


Maintenance. 

The  institution  has  no  endowment  l\ind  and  is  supportfd 
wiiolly  by  the  State  ot'Tenuessee.  After  the  appropriation 
of'one  thousand  dollars  to  found  the  school  and  maintain  it 
the  first  year,  the  Legislature  appropriated  twei>ty-five 
hundred  dollars  per  annum  (or  the  next  two  years  for  sup- 
port, and  five  thousand  dollars  annually  thereafter  for  sever- 
al  years,  special  appropriation  being  made  from  time  t .  lime 
for  buildings  and  improvements. 

The  Legislature  of  1857  passed  an  act  appropriating  two 
hundred  dollars  annually  for  each  "pauper  mule"  in  the 
State  attending  the  school  This  law  required  a  certificate 
tu  the  effect  that  the  parents  of  children  seeking  admission, 
as  state  pupils  were  paupers,  and  this  humiliating  require- 
im-nt  kept  many  children  at  home  who  should  have  entered 
the  school. 

In  I860  this  provision  was  modified  so  that  the  Trustees 
could  admit  children  as  State,  or  free,  pupils  when  satisfied 
of  the  inability  of  parents  to  pay  for  their  maintenance  at 
school. 

In  1877  all  requirements  as  to  payment  were  stricken  out 
of  the  laws  governing  the  admission  of  pupils,  and  the  school 
was  made  free  to  all  deaf  children  in  the  State  regardless  of 
the  financial  ability  of  parents,  or  their  poverty. 

This  was  but  a  recognition  of  the  principle  of  common  jus- 
tice that  all  the  children  of  the  State  were  entitled  to  an 
education,  and  ought  not  to  be  debarred  therefrom  by  deaf- 
ness or  poverty.  The  change  has  proven  greatly  to  the  ad- 
vantage of  the  deaf  and  dumb  of  the  State.  It  has  worked 
well  in  the  managenaent  of  the  school  by  abolishing  the  spirit 
of  caste  which  will  grow  up  in  any  school  composed  in  pan 
of  pay  pupils,  and  it  has  added  but  little  to  the  cost  of  the  in- 
stitution to  the  State. 

In  1866  the  General  Assembly  passed  a  law  giving  to  the 
school  five  thousand  dollars  annually,  in  addition  to  the  per 
capita  allowance,   and   the  institution  was  supported  under

Tennessee  as  to  appropriations,  specified  sums  are  appro- 
priated  biennially  for  the  maintenance  of  tbe  school  upoo

Colored  Department. 

In  October,  1881,  a  separate  school  for  colored  deaf  and 
dumb  children  was  begun  in  East  Knoxville  in  rented  premi- 
ses vt-ry  near  the  spot  where  the  school  for  white  children 
had  been  organized  thirty-six  years  before. 

The  department  for  colored  children  is  und'^r  the  same  gen- 
eral management  as  the  department  for  white  children. 

la  1885,  upon  application  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Leg- 
islature  appropriated  five  thousand,  five  hundred  dollars  to 
purchase  grounds  and  buildings  for  the  colored  department 
-then  offered  at  that  price.  These  premises  were  situated  two 
miles  east  of  Knoxville  and  contained  twenty-s^ven  acres  of 
land,  well  adapted  to  the  purposes  of  the  school,  with  com- 
modious and  comfortable  brick  buildings  formerly  occupied 
as  a  country  home  and  costing  originally  largely  more  than 
the  price  at  which  the  entire  premises  were  secured. 

An  additional  outlay  of  thirty-five  hundred  dollars  has 
provided  sufficient  accommodations  for  the  present  needs  of 
this  department  in  which  there  are  now  twenty-six  pupils. 


Attendance. 

The  total  enrollment  of  both  departments  of  the  institu- 
tion for  the  present  session  is  one  hundred  and  seventy— 
the  largest  in  its  history.  Since  the  organi.^ation  of  the 
school,  seven  hundred  and  seventy-six  pupils  have  been  un- 
der instruction. 

Five  sessions  were  lost  on  account  of  the  suspension  dur- 
ing the  civil  war. 

There  were  sixteen  sessions  previous  to  the  suspension 
with  the  following  attendance  by  terras: 

9,  10,  15,  22,  22,  26,  21,  31,  44,  64,  59,  60,  70,  58,  57,55. 

Since  the  reorganization  there  have  been  twenty-seven 
sessions  with  an  attendance  as  follows :

The  age  of  admission  is  eight  years  and  the  term  of  in- 
struction is  eight  years.  The  average  terra  of  attendance 
has  been  about  five  years. 


Methods  of  Instruction. 

The  sign  or  manual  method  of  instruction  in  use  at  Hart- 
ford and  in  the  other  American  Schools  in  1845  was  adopted 
by  Mr.  Maclntire  at  the  beginning  of  the  work  in  the  Ten- 
nessee School,  and  this  system  was  followed  exclusively  for 
many  years. 

Under  the  management  of  Mr.  Ijams,  semi-mutes  and 
others  who  seemed  most  capable  of  receiving  such  instruc- 
tion were  taught  orally  by  the  principal  and  by  hearing 
teachers  in  connection  with  their  manual  work.  In  1880  a 
regular  teacher  of  articulation  was  employed,  and  since  thai 
time  oral  work  has  been  systematically  pursued,  it  being 
the  purpose  to  conform,  a9  nearly  as  practicable,  to  the  ap- 
proved methods  of  the  combined  system  as  defined  by  the 
Convention  of  American  Instructors  of  the  Deaf. 

At  present  about  one  hundred  pupils  are  taught  in  part 
by  the  manual  method  and  ia  part  orally,  the  remainder 
being  instructed  by  the  manual  method  exclusively. 

Industrial  Trainingr. 

Early  in  the  history  of  the  school  instructiou  in  shoe- 
making  and  cabinet-making  was  begun  and  continued  sat- 
isfiictorily  until  the  suspension  of  the  school  in  1861. 

After  the  receranization,  printing  was  substituted  for 
cabmet-making  and  now  the  trades  taught  are  printing 
and  shoe-making. 

A  serai-monthly  paper,  "The  Silent  Observer,"  now  in  it» 
seventeenth  volume,  is  issued  from  the  printing  oflBce. 

In  the  shoe-shop  the  mending  of  shoes  for  all  the  pupils 
IS  done,  indigent  children  are  furnished  with  shoes,  and  the 
surplus  product  is  generally  sold  in  exchange  for  coal. 

Many  ex-pupils  throughout  the  State  who  learned  these 
trades  in  the  school  are  earning  comfortable  support  a» 
shoe-makers  and  printers.

The  Tennessee  Deaf  and  Dumb  School. 


Efforts  are  now  being  made  by  the  Trustees  to  secure 
means  to  enlarge  the  industrial  department  and  to  increase 
the  number  of  trades  taught. 


Joseph  H.,  Ijams,  the  sixth  principal  of  the  school,  was 
called  to  take  charge  of  the  institution  at  a  critical  period 
of  its  history.  He  proved  to  be  fully  equal  to  the  emer- 
gency;  and  to  his  intelligent  and  untiring  labors  is  largely 

due  the  prosperity  of  the  school  since  its  reorganization  in 
1866. 

In  June,  1861,  the  sixteenth  session  of  the  school  was  clos- 
ed about  two  weeks  earlier  than  had  been  contemplated  on 
account  of  the  excitement  then  existing  because  of  the  civil 
war  which  had  begun  some  two  months  before.  The  ques- 
tion of  reopening  the  school  in  the  following  fall  was  held 
in  abeyance  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  until  August  3,  18(51, 
when  the  school  was  suspended  indefinitely  and  the  services 
of  all  teachers'and  officers  dispensed  with. 

From  this  time  until  September,  1865,  the  premises  were 
in  the  hands  of  the  contending  armies.  They  were  first  oc- 
cupied by  the  Confederate  soldiers  for  about  two  years,  and 
then  by  the  Federal  army  for  about  the  same  length  of 
time.  The  buildings  were  used  for  hospital  purposes  and 
the  grounds  as  a  camp.  All  books,  papers,  furniture,  Ac. 
were  appropriated  or  destroyed,  and  only  such  things  re- 
mained as  were  too  heavy  to  be  carried  away  a.id  so  strong 
as  not  to  be  easily  broken,  and  these  were  in  a  terrible  state 
of  dilapidation  and  filth. 

Of  a  fine  forest  only  four  oaks,  a  hickory,  and  a  cherry 
were  left  standing.  General  Burnsides'  northern  line  of 
the  fortifications  of  the  city  had  extended  through  the 
grounds  from  Locust  street  to  Broad  street,  and  the  entire 
premises  afforded  a  striking  object  lesson  of  the  desolations 
of  war. 

In  May,  1866,  the  work  of  restoring  the  buildings  and 
grounds  was  begun  by  the  Trustees  and  steps  taken  by  them 
looking  to  the  reorganization  of  the  school.  This  work  was 
pursued  diligently  during  the  summer  of  1866,  and  in  Octo 
beroPthat  year  Mr.  Ijams  was  called  to  the  principiilshii, 
of  the  institution.  He  accepted  the  position  and  tlie  fal- 
lowing month  entered  with  enthusiasm   upon   the  arduous

task  of  reorganizing  and  rebuilding  the  institution.  His 
success  was  marked  and  rapid.  The  school  was  reopened 
December  3,  1866,  Thirty  nine  pupils  were  enrolled  the 
first  session  with  an  increased  attendance  each  succeeding 
term  for  ten  years,  more  than  one  hundred  pupils  being  re- 
ceived the  fifth  session.  After  sixteen  years  of  most  faith- 
ful and  honored  service  Mr,  Ijams  died,  on  December  24th, 
1882,  universally  loved  and  lamented.  The  present  princi- 
pal. Thomas  L.  Moses,  who  had  taught  in  the  school  under 
Mr.  Ijams  for  ten  years  preceding  1880,  when  he  had  retir- 
ed to  engage  in  business,  was  called  to  take  charge  of  the 
school  January  1st,  1883.  He  accepted  the  position  and  has 
served  the  institution  as  principal  since  that  time. 

Soon  after  the  opening  of  the  school  in  1845,  Mr.  Macln- 
tire  found  the  services  of  a  school-room  assistant  neceseiry, 
and  Mr.  Charles  W.  Myers,  of  Ohio,  an  educated  deaf-mute,' 
was  chosen  to  be  the  first  assistant  teacher  of  the  institution.

Societies. 

On  April  6th,  1890,  the  pupils  of  the  school  and  the  deaf- 
mutes  living  in  KnoxviUe  and  vicinity,  with  some  of  the 
teachers  and  officers  of  the  institution,  organized  a  society 
which  they  called  The  Tennessee  Deaf-Mute  Helpers.  The 
primary  object  of  the  organization  was  to  raise  money  to  aid 
iMrs.  Mills  in  the  establishment  of  schools  for  the  daaf  in 
China,  and  it  has  been  maintained  for  the  purpose  of  extend- 
lug  help  wherevex  i  field  for  such  work  should  be  presented. 
The  practical  application  of  the  missionary  idea  was  to  many 
of  the  members  of  the  society  a  new  revelation.  The  think- 
ing on  the  things  of  others,  of  the  blessings  which  they 
themselves  enjoy  and  of  which  thousand  of  others  know 
nothing,  seems  to  have  given  a  new  pleaasure  and  to  have 
made  them  realize  in  its  fnHaess  the  truth,  "It  is  more  bless- 
ed to  give  than  to  receive." 

In  some  of  the  voluntary  contributions  and  work  of  the 
liiHiibersof  the  society,  have  been  manifested  some  touching 
and  beautiful  instances  of  loving  self-sacrifice.  The  effect  of 
tills  society  upon  pupils  and  others  nas  been  most  salutary,  be- 

ic  helpful  to  the  members  of  the  society  and  to  the  institu- 
Min  as  well. 

The  society  holds  monthly  meetings  in  the  chapel  of  the  in- 
stitution on  the  second  Sabbath  of  each  month,  when  a  lecture 
18  given  and  a  collection  taken,

NORTH  CAROLINA  INSTITUTION   FOR   THE   DEAF 
AND  DUMB  AND  THE  BLIND. 

In  1843  the  question  of  eHtahliHliing  a  school  for  educating 
t\w  deaf  and  dumb  was  agitated.  Mr.  W.  D.  Cooke,  of  Virginia, 
ciuiie  to  the  State  the  same  year  and  went  into  several  counties 
yiving  exhibitions  of  the  manner  of  teaching  the  deaf  and  dumb. 

Governor  Morehead  urged  the  establishment  by  the  State 
(.f  such  an  institution.  On  January  12,  1845,  a  bill  entitled 
'•  An  act  to  provide  for  the  education  and  maintenance  of  poor 
and  indigent  deaf-mutes  and  blind  persons  in  the  State  "  was 
passed.     The  sum  of  |5,000  annually  was  appropriated. 

The  act  placed  this  fund  under  the  supervision  of  the 
"  president  and  directors  of  the  ^:brary  board."  The  board 
was  composed  of  His  Excellency  Governor  Graham,  ex  officio, 
president  of  the  board,  and  Weston  R.  Gales,  David  Stone, 
Charles  Manly,  and  R.  S.  Myers. 

The  board  secured  a  building  on  Hillsboro  street,  and  the 
school  was  organized  by  the  appointment  of  Wm.  D.  Cooke, 
A.  M.,  principal.  On  the  first  day  of  May,  1845,  the  school 
opened  with  seven  pupils,  and  during  the  session  seventeen 
entered.

At  the  session  of  the  general  assembly  of  North  Carolina  in 
1847  an  act  was  passed  to  provide  for  the  erection  of  a  suit- 
iible  building  for  the  comfortable  accommodations  of  deaf- 
iniitc.s  and  blind  persons  in  th"  State.  The  act  appropriated 
only  .$5,000,  but  provided  that  the  suri)lus  out  of  the  annual 
iippiopriations,  amounting  to  ten  thousand  ($10,000),  be  placed 
in  the  hands  of  the  board.

ot   the  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Duuib.     The  school  was

JSichols,  who  had  no  professional  experience  with  the  e,h„..i 
tion  of  th(>  deaf,  succeeded  Mr.  Palmer  as  principal.      In  1,S71 
Mr  Ni.-hols  was  suc<.ee,led  by  Mr.  .S.  F.  Tomlinson.     He  had 
no  knowledge  or  exixuience  in  such  work.     But  :^rr   Ton.lin 
Hon  mnainedoijy  about  two  years,  beinj,'  smv.eded  in  187:5 
by  Mr.  .Nichols,  whom  he  had  so  recently  succeeded.     Thes. 
chan.es  were  mad,,  on  political  ^-vounds.     About  this  time  the 
Governor  appointed  a  boanl.  aniunn-  whom  was  one  nef,n-o  wlio 
could  not  sign  his  own  name.     Under  such  manaoenient  we.e 
our  uiifox-tunate  children  placed  for  their  physical,  mental, 
moial,  and  sjuritual  instruction. 

It  will  be  rc.membered  that  formerly  our  Institution  own.  d 
and  operated  a  well.e.,uipi,ed  printino-,.Ui,.e  and  bookbindery 
At  one  hme  the  Institution  did   the  printing    for  the  Stale 
printer.     The  American  A nnals  for  the  J>eaf  was  printed  in 
this  oftce  and  the  Institution  publishe.l  a  paper,  -The  Deal 
Mute  Casket.       The  othc-e  had  costly  appliances  for  printn,... 
raised  type,  and  printed  several    ^vorks  for  tlu.  blind      Bui 
durmg  t  le  administration  of  poHtu-ians  the  printing  appliances 
were  sold  and  the  building  torn  down.     A  costly  piss  was 
sold  to  a  foundry  as  "old  iron."     The  same  press  was  after- 
wards inuvhased  from  the  foundry  and  is  now  in  use  in  one  of 
the  leading  printing  houses  of  the  c-ity.     It  appears  that  the 
board  thought  It  unjust  for  the  deaf  to  compete  against  the 
printing  houses  and  thereby  take  some  of  the  public  i)atroiiage 
ot  the  State  printer.  "

shoot    in  North  Carolina.     Mr.  D.  C.  Dudley  spent  his  youth 
and  young  manhood  in  the  North  Carolina  Institution,  from 
whence  ho  went  to  the   Kentucky  Institution,  and  afterward 
mied   so    acceptably   the    superintendency   of    the    Colorado 
School  for  the  Deaf  and  the  Blind.     Mr.  Hill,  superintendent 
ot  the  West  Virginia  Institution,  gained  his  first  experience  in 
North  Carolina.     Mr.  John  E.  Ray,  the  efficient  and  pro^jres 
Sive  superintendent  of   the    Colorado   Institution,  spent   ten 
years  teaching  the  deaf  in  his  native  State.     It  might  not  be 
out   of  place   for   North   Carolina   also   to  claim  Mr.  J    A 
Tillinghast,  now  in  the  Colorado  Institution. 

The  colored  department  has  furnished  teachers  to  the  South 
Carolina,  Georgia,  and  Texas  Institutions. 

In  1868  the  general  assembly  made  provisions  for  the  edu 
cation  of  the  colored  deaf  and  dumb  and  blind  children  of  the 
State.  North  Carolina  was  the  first  State  to  provide  an  insti 
tution  for  the  colored  race.  The  colored  department  opened 
on  the  4th  of  January,  18G9,  with  26  pupils.  Mr.  John  J 
Turner  was  in  charge  of  this  department  for  one  session,  when 
Mr.  Z.  W.  Hayne^  was  elected.  He  taught  in  this  department 
for  twenty  years,  and  was  removed  to  the  white  department 
in  1890. 

The  Institution  for  the  Colored  is  a  commodious,  well  ar- 
ranged building,  more  suitable  for  its  purpose  than  the  build- 
ings for  the  white  department.  The  colored  department  is 
under  the  same  general  management  as  the  white  department 
and  enjoys  the  same  care  and  privileges.  This  department 
has  been  under  the  immediate  charge  of  W.  F.  Debnam  since 
187*.

An  act  of  the  general  assembly  of  North  Carolina  creating 
aiul  estabhshing  the  new  North  Carolina  School  for  the  Deaf  and 
Dmnb  was  passed  and  ratified  March  7,  1891. 

The  School  is  located  at  Morganton,  in  Burke  County  This 
l(><-ation  is  just  east  of  the  Blue  Bidge,  and  is  surrounded  on 
tbree  sides  by  the  mountains,  and  commands  good  views  of 
South  Mountains,  Table  Bock,  and  Grandfather  Mountains. 
The  first  brick  in  the  building  was  laid  by  two  deaf  children, 
Maggie  LeGrand  and  Bobert  Miller,  May  16,  1892. 

The  building,  designed  by  A.  G.  Bauer,  architect,  is  a  brick 
structure,  three  stories  high  (above  basement),  and  is  two 
ImnJred  and  fifty-six  feet  long,  contains  one  hundred  and  fifty 
looms,  and  will  accommodate  three  hundred  children. 

The  building  is  modelled  after  the  "Advanced  "  building  of 
tl.e  Pennsylvania  Listitution.  It  will  be  furnished  with 
modern  appliances  and  equipments. 

The  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  and  the  Blind  at 
Raleigh  has  had  very  limited  facilities  for  educating  the  deaf 
••aiiug  for  less  than  one  hundred  white  mutes,  with  uerhaps 
tour  hundred  growing  up  in  ignorance  in  the  State.

In  addition  to  the  re^ailar  school  course,  there  will  be  tauo-hf 
several  mdustrial  trades  and  arts-printing,  tailoring,  ou. 
pentry,  free-hand  and  industrial  drawing,  shoemaking,  broon. 
and  mattress  making,  and  practical  farming,  gardening,  ai.d 
•lan-ymg.  The  School  owns  and  will  operate  a  farm  of  two 
hundred  and  thirteen  acres.  A  very  large  per  centum  of  our 
children  are  the  sons  and  daughters  of  farmers,  and  our  facili

ties  to  train  the  boys  in  the  practical  part  of  agriculture  will 
be  v^ry  good,  and  we  can  thus  prepare  them  for  their  life-work.

At  the  recent  session  of  the  general  assembly  a  stringent 
i;iw^\vas  passed  recpiiring  professional  experience  in  the  train- 
ing and  management  of  deaf-mutes  for  eligibility  to  the  su- 
piriiitendency  of  the  School. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  building  will  be  completed  by  the  first 
of  November,  1893.

Otwav  Wilkinson.   Dennis  llookwell,  Georo-e  M.  Chambers,  and 
Matthew  Stacy,  men  who  to  the  close  of  life  enjoved  the  hi-H. 
est  confidence  of  their  fellow  citizens.    In   this  connection'  there 
18  but  one  cause  of  re-ret,  which  is  that  the  na.ne  of  Hon    Or 
vilie  H    Browning-  does  not  appear.     Xo  na.ne  might  more  fit- 
tingly l^ye  appeared.     B„t  the  act  was  drawn  by  Judge  Brown- 
ing, and  the  modesty  that  accompanies  me.-it  caused  him,  while 
naming  others  to  omit  himself.    Stra.ige  that  some  one  did  not 
move  to  insert  his  name  in  the  bill;  but  though  never  a(.tively 
and  officially  connected  with  the  institution,  he  never  ceased  ti 
entertain  for  it  the  liveliest  interest  as  was  manifested   bv  his 
sending  to  it  valuable  public  documents  while  he  remai,,;.!  in 
pnbhc  life,  and  by  his  earnest  inquiries  concerning  its  work  until 
h.s  earthly  career  terminated.    Judge  Browning's  complete  dis- 
interestedness in   the  subject  is  manifested  by  his  naming  an- 
other  place  for  the  location  of  the  institution  than  the  citv  of 
his  own  residence.    The  best  and   n.ost  convenient  location  "was 
the  one  he  desired,  and   as  ,lacksonvilie  seemed  in  those  ,lavg 
preceding  railroads)   to  combine  most  advantages,   he  nain^d 
that  city  m  the  act,   only  stipulating  that  the  citizens  should 
provide  a  site  comprising  not  of  less  than  five  acres  of  land     The 
omission  of  his  name  is  the  more  to  be  regretted  since  we  may 
hope   that    had    he  been   one  of  the  Board  of  Directors  seven 
.years    would    not    have  elaj.sed  before  the   school   would   have 
been  opened  for  j)upils  as  was  the  case

in-  made  the  larg^est  subscription  toward  tlie  purchase  of  land 
rcqnn-ed  by  the  Act  of  Incorporation.  He  was  continued  in  the 
Presidency  of  the  Board  as  Ion-  as  he  remained  a  ,„eniber  of 
It.  His  interest  in  the  institution  continued  to  the  close  of  his 
life.  One  of  the  last  acts  of  his  life  was  on  his  death-bed  to  send 
for  the  superintendent  of  the  institution  and  talk  with  him  upon 
matters  connected  with  the  institution.  Col.  Dunlap  was  a  man 
who  devised  liberal  things  and  undertook  laro-e  enterprises 
There  have  been  but  few,  if  any,  more  public  spirited  (nti/ens  in 
Illinois  than  Col.  James  Dunla]>, 

With  such  men  as  have  been  named  in  the  Board  of  Directors^ 
It  seem,  strange  to  us  at  this  distance  of  time  that  two  vears 
and  a  half  elapsed  before  a  site  had  been  secured  for  the  Insti- 
tution, and  that  seven  years  should  pass  before  any  denf-mutes 
had  been  admitted  to  its  halls,  or  any  instruction  given  them 
and  then  to  only  four  pupils.  But  it  is  due  to  the  good  men 
ot  those  times  to  remember  that  the  grand  scheme  of  internal 
improvements  which  had  been  inaugurated  in  1835  had  col- 
lapi-ed,  leaving  the  state  overwhelmed  with  debt,  its  bonds  and 
■state  warrants  far  below  par.  and  hard  times  prevailing  \vith  a 
severity  of  which  the  active  generation  of  to-day  have  no  knowl. 
edge.  The  first  and  uppermost  thought  of  the  (citizen  then  was; 
to  extinguish  the  debt  of  the  state,  and  of  the  peo])le  to  secni-f^ 
their  homes.  It  is  also  true  that  a  great  system  of  State  In- 
stitutions, such  as  now  form  so  important  a  part  of  every  State 
^^overnment,  was  then  unknown. 

This  was  the  first  institution  established  by  the  State  for  the 
.ili.'viation  of  misfortune,  and  ui)on  it  fell  the  task  of  arousino- 
tl..'  public  mind  to  the  ]»ractical)ility  and  importance  of  public 
IxMi.-McieiKv,  ami  of  the  extent  of  tli."  demand  foi-'it.  as  well  as 
tiK'  unavoidable  outlay  necessary  in  its  prosecution.  Institu- 
tions for  the  education  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  have  this  distinc- 
tum  in  almost  all  States  of  tli..  union.  The  American  Asylum 
(for  the  education  of  the  deaf  and  dumb)  at  Hartford,  Connecti- 
nit,  opened  in  1817.  was  the  precursor  of  all  those  great  insti- 
tutions for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  the  Blind,  the  Insane  and  the 
Feeble-Minded,  that  form  so  large  a  department  of  the  oovern- 
ment  of  all  the  States  of  the  Union,  for  whose  support,  in  some 
States,  more  than  half  of  the  public  expenditure  is  mad.'. 


In  view  ot  these  tu.-ts  it  is  „ot  at  all  ntran^-e  tliat,  in  the  third 
deca.l..  of  th.s  eenturv,  and  only  twenty  yea,-.s  after  the  first     . 
«titut,on  had  been  established  in  the  old  nnd  well  peopled  east 
that  a  new  an.l  y<,nno.  State  shonid  proceed  in  a  n.anner  tlu.t 
now  seems  t^  us,  in  the  li,,.*  of  seventy  years'  experience,  quito 
H  ow.    But,  thou,-h  the  progress  of  the  first  few  years  wa    slow 
It  wns  deternuned.    That  such  a   humane  work  shonid  be  eo    ' 
meneed  innuediately  on  its  sno-^^estion,  ,  hou^Hi  at  a  time  of  most 
d.stress.no.  h„anc,a]   depression,  is  j^n-eatly  to  the  credit  of  the 
men  o    those  days.     It  seems  to  one  reviewing-  ,t  like  a  turni„. 
away  fron.  the  wild  speculation  of  a  few  year:  before,  when    at 
a  histonan  of  the  State  says,  "the  fever  of  speculation  rapi'dl 
advanced   m  intensity    until   the   fever   developed    into    mini; 
reason  was  dethroned,  and  the  folly  of  inflation  held  high  car' 
.    niva,      to  the  more   honorable  work   of  caring  for  those  who" 
could  not  care  for  then.seives,  in  practical  obedience  to  the  Di 
vine  command,  "Thon  shalt  love  thy  neighbor  as  thvself  -    Oh," 
dience  to  the, Divine  connnand   was  speedily  follow;d   with  the 
blessing  of  Providence,  and  the  State  of  Illinois  at  once  entered 
upon  a  career  of  prosperity,  slow  indeed  at  first,  but  unren.it- 
ting-  ,n  growth  and  increasing  in  .-apidity  that  is  the  marvel  of 

to  apply  to  the  State  as  well  as  to  individuals.    The  State  can 
n   no  more  torcefnl   manner  acknowledge  the  Creator  than  bv 
beneficence  to  the  luedy  and  helpless 

There  ai-e  two  beneficent  results  accruing  from  the  instruction 
o  the  ,lea  and  dumb  by  the  body  politic.  First,  to  its  subiect. 
who  are  elevated  to  a  plane  of  enlightu.ent  in  which  thev  can 
enjoy  the  noblest  pleasures  of  family  ties  and  so.-ial  life'  and 
-•ondly,  to  the  State  wh.ch  thus  secures  for  itself  intelhgent 
^  -^hant  ctueiis  instead  of  ignorant  dependents  who,  othe^vis^ 
for    t^he  term  of     he.r  natural   lives,  would   be  an  incubus  upon 

ma  iitammg  Inn.  tor  a  few  years,  than  to  care  for  and  support 
him  for  several  decades  as  a  man  but  little  elevated  above  a 
bi  ute.  ihe  sum  ot  money  expended  bv  the  people  of  Illinois  in 
the  support  of  its  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  is  large  in 
the  aggregate  and  is  easily  ..omputed,  but  what  the  expendil  ures 
by  society  tor  Us  beneficiaries  would  otherwise  have  amounted 


to  beino-nrndein  inmunerable  driblets,  uo  onv  .an  con.pute  with 
<-.Mta.nty,  but  certnin  it  is  that  the  sun.  of  all  these  uculd  far 
'xceed  the  former. 

I..'t  it  not  be  supposed  that  between  the  incorporation  of  th.^ 
...sntut.on  ,n  Febru.u-y,  1880,  and  its  opening-  in  February,  184g' 
!hat  the  Board  of  Directors  had    been   unmindful  of  theiVt^mt 
There  were  frequent  n.eetings  of  the   Hoard  and  its  Prudential 
( .)ninuttee  during,  those  years.    A  building-,  then  d.-eme.l  ample 
lor  many  generations,  was  erected  and   paid  for.    To  effect  this 
result  m  tin.es  of  financial .  dep.-ession,  so  severe  that  Auditoi-'s 
wn. rants  were  sold  as  low  as  thirty  ce.its  on  the  dollar    was  a 
matter  of  such  difficulty  as  the  present  gene.'ation  knows  ..oth- 
i.g  of.  when  the  State  Treasury    <,ontains  a  surplus,  the  State 
debt  ,s  all  paid,  and  holde.-s  of  its  bonds  .-efuse  to  p,-esent  them 
0.-  payn.ent.    The  building  e.-e..ted  was  eighty-six  feet  long,  fifty 
te.rt  wide,  three  stories  and  an  attic  high.    The  wite:-  has  been 
lold  that  by  some  it  was  then  regarded   as  far  beyoT.d  all  the 
reqmrements  of  the  next   hundred    years,  and  son.etin.es  deris- 
ively style.l  the  State's  folly,  so  little  was  the  demand  for  such 
an  iT.stitution  understood.    Not  a  vestige  of  that   buihling  re- 
.mm.ed  afte.-  thirty  years.    Could  the    men    of   that  day,  with 
prophet  s  ken,  have  looke<l  down  the  vista  of  only  fort^  vea.-s 
upon  the  great  and  beautiful  structures  that  now  succeed  theirs 
It  would  have  seemed  to  them  that  they  were  viewb.g  the  base! 
less  fabrics  of  a  d.-ean..     Hut  in  their  day  they  nlan,.ed  and  la- 
bored as  hard  as  we    have    since,  and    practiced   far  mo.-e  self- 
<l"n.al  than  has  fallen  to  on.-  lot.    During  the  suin.ner  of  1845 
eight  i-ooms  of  the  building  were  finished.     With  these  the  Board 
;'t  Directors  felt  that  they   would   be   able    to    open  the  school 
hey  were  now  b.-ought  to  the  most  serious  a..d  in.portant  duty 
that  could  come  to  them.    In  all   that   had  thus  far  devolved 
"pon  then,  in  thei.-  respective  spheres  of  life  the  members  of  the 
l^oa.-,l  were  as  wise  and  as  sagacious  as  any  body  of  a  si.nilar 
n;n,d)e.-  that  could  be  gathered   in    Illinois  or  any  othe.-  State 
llH>.v  were,  as  already  seen,  men    eminent    at  the  forum,  in  the 
•alls  of  legislation,  in  agriculfc  ,.  the  pulpit  and  the  arenas  of 
fade.    1  hey  were  fully  cognixa.nt  of  the  necessity  of  the  greatest 
P>u,le..ce  ,n  the  selection  of  a  principal   whose  success  or  fail- 
"'<"  ni  the  conduct    of   the    institnti(m   would   make  effective  or

paralizod  nil  they  had  thuR  far  done,  thn.s  brinn-ino.  e,,vlit  or  n.o,-. 
tification  to  the>„.    Thero  is  probably  no  position  in  society  i„ 
which  a  man   more  sn.-ely  requires   technical    skill,  based   nn„n 
years  of  actual  ex],erience,  than  <loes  the  position  of  superintend 
ent  or  principal  of  an  instit.ition  for  the  education  of  the  deaf' 
and  dumb.    The  c^entleman  who  first,  in  America,  undertook  this 
])eculia7-  work,  prepared  himself  by  lonn-  previous  study,  in vesti 
^^at.on  and  work  in  institutions  of  forei-n  lands,  and  then,  not, 
iintd  he  succeeded  ininducinn^a  man  of  still  longer  experience  i,> 
a  European  institution  to  assist  him  in  his  new  work,  did  he  ... 
tiyely  enter  upon  it.    The  first  instructors  of  the  deaf  and  dun.h" 
in  America  were  all  college  bred  men  of  the  most  brilliant  attain 
ments,  and  of  ability  that  would,  and  did  in  some  cases,  achieve 
success  and  distinction  in  the  most  exalted  walks  of  life;  some 
m  college  faculties,  some  in  diyinity,  some  in  law,  and   some  in 
authorship.    No  profession-for  the  instruction  of  the  deaf  is  as 
truly  a  profession   as  law,  medicine,  theology  or  art-was  eyer 
maugurated  by  a  bettor  class  of  men  or  style  of  mind  than  was 
this.     Its  prest.ne  dignity  it  has  maintained  as  well  as  any  other 
prmession.    That  some  indiyiduals    haye   be.  n    impropeHy   a.l- 
mitted  to  it  is  not  to  be  denied.    Still  more  regretful  is  the  fact 
that  there  haye  been  foisted  upon  it  some  incompetent  and  un- 
suitable  persons  as  a  reward  of  party  service.    But  this  has  not 
.n  any  case,  been  by  the  influence  of  members  of  the  profession' 
but  in  spite  of  them.    Repeatedly  has  the  high-toned  and  expert' 
instructor  felt  the  tinge  of  shame  an.l   indignation  when  he  has 
seen  h.s  loved  and  honoral.le  professicm  made  a  shuttle-cock  to 
be  bandied  back  and  forth   by   party  heelers  as  though  it  was 
legitimate  party  spoils.    If  the  -boodler"  could  be  of  some  .n- 
vice  the  case  would  not  bo  so  shameful,  but  he  not  only  can  .lo 
nothing  in  his  new  sphere,  but   he  is  actually   an   obstacle  .ho 
ran  only  strut  around,  hold  down  an   ofhVe  chair  ami  draw  a 
salary  he  has  not  earne.l.    To  .lirect  the  b-mefactions  of  a  ..eu- 
eroiis  people,  appropriated  by  them  for  a  noble  pnr,,ose  to  .si,..!, 
nse,  lacks  but  little,  if  any,  of  the  es.scntial  spirit  of  knave,  v  .unl 
robbery,  even  though  it  is  done  un.l.,-  the  forms  of  law  ^  K  is 
impossible  to  conceive  of  anything  more  absurd   than  to  pLuv 
m  charge  of  a  company  of  youth,  to  direct  their  morals,  niun- 
ners,  instruction,  and  look   afte,-  their  welfare,  one  who  cannot 
even  ask  after  their    ailments  in  sickness,  or  give  them  a  word

of  .-...nfort  In  trouble.  ThiH  ini.juity,  it  is  due  to  say,  has  not 
oti-M  been  practiced  anywhere,  and  never  in  connection  witli 
tliis  institution. 

The  Hoard  of  Trustees  have  from  the  first  recooni.ed  and 
aet.Ml  upon  the  principle  that  so  sacred  a  work  as  superintend- 
ino-  such  an  mstitntion  should  be  entrusted  onlv  to  one  who 
was  versed  in  the  work  of  instructinc^  the  deaf,  who  could  com- 
...unicate  with  thein  in  their  own  lan^ruajre  since  thev  cannot 
use  ours. 

Hefore  the  buildiug.  was  ready  for  occupancy  the  Board  had 
appointed  a  committee  to  seek  for  a  thorouohly  competent  man 
to  take  charge  of  the  new  institution  at  its  opening.    Extensive 
(•orresi.ondence    was    opened    with    institutions  in  other  States 
will.  th(>  result  that  Mr.  Thomas  Officer,  who  five  vears  preced- 
ing luid  been  engaged  as  a  teacher  in  the  Ohio  institution   was 
elected  principal.    It  is  quite  surprising  that  the  records  of  the 
l5oard  and  the  reports  of  the  institution  make  very  little  refer 
mice  to  Mr.  Officer.    So  far  as  they  are  concerned  it  would  only 
appear  that  he  was  employed  at  a  meagre  salary,  and  after  a 
period  of  nine  years  withdrew  from  the  institution     The  .vriter 
as   his   successor   and  from  some  personal  acquaintance,    and 
trom  inciuiry  of  his  coadjutors  and  comrades  both  in  the  Ohio 
an<]  in  this  institution  is  prepared  to  say  that  the  Board  made  a 
most    happy    and    fortunate  selection  for  their  first  principal 
Mr.  ()ffi,-er  was  well  posted  in  his  profession  to  which  he  was  an 
ornament,  was  a  good  teacher,  a  fine  executive,  with  pleasant 
^ivnial    bearing,    eminently  becomiim'  the  Christian    gentleman! 
He   had  an   urbane  an<i   winning  manner  that  ingratiated  him 
nishiiitly  with  all  well  disposed  persons  and  soon  fixed  him  in 
ti.eu-   confidence.      While    the  earlier  reports  of  the  institution 
atter   Ins   advent  make  very  little  reference  to  Mr    Officer    the 
subjects  they  discuss  and  the  manner  of  their  discussion    is  so 
'lilt'Mvnt  from  those  preceding  thenf  as  to  clearlv  show  that  they

The  (Jay  for  openino-  oanif;  but  no  deaf-mutes  came  with  it.  M-. 
(•ordinoly,  Mr.  Officei-  started  out  on  a  search  for  them.    In  t'le 
course  of  several  weeks  twelve  w(>re  found  whose  parents  i)ioni. 
ised  to  send  them,  but  at  the  des  -nated  time  they  failed  to  put 
111  an  appearance.    However,  by  the  last  of  Jai.uarv,  1840,  lour 
had    reached    the    institution,   and   in   the  month   of  Febriinrv 
sev.Mi  years  after  the  passao-e  of  the  bill  establishing'  the  insti- 
tution,  it    beo-an   its  noble  work.      Accessions  to  the  number  of 
pupils    were    made    durinj.-  the  next  sprino-  so  that  durin-  tli. 
first  term  the're  were  nine  deaf-mutes  admitted.    Tiiis  se^^ns  to 
m  now  a  small  beoinnino'.  but  other  institutions  had  before  this 
been    opened    with  small   nund)ers;    the  American  Asvlum  with 
but  six;   the  Pennsylvania  with  seven;  the  Ohio  Institution  with 
three,  only  six  more  duriiio-  its  entire  first  vear;   the  Tennessee 
Institution    with    nine,    and    the  Indiana  Institution   with  six 
Hence    tlie    directors,   nothing'  daunted,   sent  out  on  a  tour  of 
search  the  superintendent  durino- the  summer  vacation.   His  sue- 
cess  in  securino-  promise  s  of  attendance  were  so  encouraoi„p.  ,1,.,! 
an  additional  teacher  was  employed  for  the  new  term  whidi  was 
to  open  on  the  17th  of  September.      Durino'  tlie  fall  and  early 
winter   there    were   five  accessions,   so  that  in  its  second  term 
fourteen  pupils  were  enrolled,  some  being-  quite  tardy  in    their 
arrival.    In  tlieir  report  made  at  this  time,  December,  184C,  the 
directors   state    to  ths  (;eneral  Assembly  that  if  the  means  to 
complete  the  building'  were-su])])lie(l  they  could  also  admit  the 
deaf-mutes    of    Missouri,    Iowa,    Arkansas  and   Wisconsin  to  a 
participation  in  its  advantages.     Ivxcept  Arkansas,  all  of  these 
States  did,  in  a  few  years,  send  deaf  children  to  this  institution 
for  instruction. 

A  regulation  that  seriously  impeded  the  «-rowth  of  the  institu- 
tion in  its  early  history  was  one  which  had  a  similar  paralyz- 
ing effect  on  institutions  in  other  States,  namelv.  a  provisioii

then  certify  to  that  fact.     In   reco.nn.endin^-  the  rer.eal  of  thin 
proviHion  the  director,  say:    "The  only  effect  in  requirino-  thene 
.c(.h.'ate«,  HO  far  as  we  can  see,  is  to  deprive  n.any  of  those 
wlH.  are  actually  too  poor  to  pny  for  the  advantaj-es  of  the 
institution.    Many  parents,  Miouo-h  barelv  al»le  to  provide  food 
mil  dothino-  f,„.  their  families,  cannot  hrinj.-  iheniselves  to  sub 
.nil    to   the   disao-reeahle    task    of  o-oino-  bofore  justices  of  tlie 
lu-Hce  and  askino-  for  certiHcates  of  poverty."     During-  the  year 
imi  earnest  efforts  were  made  to  ascertain  the  number,  names 
and  residences  of  the  deaf  and  <lumb  within  the  State  by  personal 
.'xploiation  of  the  State,  cireulars  of  inquiry  to  census  commis- 
sioners of  1845,  and  to  cleroymen  of  various  denominations  bv 
ulM.h  means  the  names  of  one  hundred  and  sixty  were  obtained 
o\  whom   but  six  or  ei-ht  were  in  circumstances  to  pnv  for  their 
support  at  the  school.    These  efforts  in  time  bore  fruit,  thou«h 
probably  not  as  soon  as  was  expected. 

In  the  fourth  biennial  report,  December,  1848,  onlv  three  vears 
alter  the  openin-  of  the  school,  the  directors  find  that  the  buihl- 
mo-  that  ,11  their  first  report  they  had  stated  would  answ.-r  for 
many  years  to  come,  and  in   their  third   report  had   intinmted 
Its  adequacy  for  the  <leaf-mutes,  «ot  only  (.f  IHinoi.s,   but  also 
fnr  tl.ose  of  Missouri,  Towa,  Arkansas  and  Wisconsin,  was  now 
quite  crowded,  thouoh  only  sixty  puj.ils  had  been   received    ten 
ut  whom  were  from  Missouri  and  one  from  Iowa.    Tliev  accord- 
mgly  applied  to  the  General  Assembly  f<,r  an  appro,,riation  of 
ten  thousand  <lollars  to  extend  the  buildinos  bv  the  erection  of

(i«ul)le-h.>aded  affair,  in   which   there  will  inevitablv  be  conflict 
and  misunderstanding.    It  has  been  trie<l   in  most,"  if  not  quite

almost  as  inevitable  for  an  institution  to  pass  through  this  ex

morally-for    becoming    good    and    useful   citizens,    supportino 
themselves  l)y   their    own    exertions,    without    being   dependent 
upon  the  community  at  large  or  their  friends.    To  this  end  not 
only   should    industrious    habits    be   formed,    but    opportunity 
should  be  given  for  acquiring  practical  knowledge  and   skill  in 
souie  honest  and  useful  calling.    An  institution  which  makes  no 
such  provision  fails  to  dis.-harge    an    important  duty  which  it 
owes  to  the  deaf  and  dumb.     For,  howvver,  good  their  educa- 
tion may  be  in  other  respects  when  they  go  forth  from  the  in- 
stitution,  unless    they    have   also    acquired    some   considerable 
knowledge  of  a   trade,  experience    proves    that    few    tradesmen 
will  take  the  })ains  necessary  to  impart  that  knowledge  to  them 
The  difficulty  does  not  arise  from  any  want  of  aptness  on  the 
part  of  the  deaf  and  <lumb  to    learn  trades;  on    the    conti-nry 
thoir  ing<>nuity  is  proverbial;  but  it  arises   solelv   from  the   in- 
convenienc««    which    necessarily    attends    the   communication  of 
Ideas  on  the  part  of  those  unacquainted  with  the  sign  language 
This  makes  it  important  that  trades  be  taught  them  at  the  in- 
stitution, where,  through  the  medium  of  their  own  natural  lan- 
guage, instruction  in  mechanics  can   b<>    imparted    to    them   as 
readily  as  any  other  kind   of  instruction. 

"As  there  is  the  saim.  diversity  of  talent  and  taste  among 
mutes  as  among  hearing  and  speaking  peo])le,  it  is  important 
that  several  trades  be  established  at  the  institution.  Those 
who  cannot  succeed  in  one  trade  may  be  found  to  excel  in 
another,  and  it  would  be  well  to  give  thorn  an  cpportunity  to 
make  a  selection  from  several  pursuits."

1.1  tiieii-  fourtli  report  the  directors  made  two  important  ro- 
commendations  to  tlie  General  Assembly,  which,  by  an  act  ap 
proved  February  B,  1849,  were  carried   into   effect.     The    first 
ohanoino-  the  name  of  the  corpoi-ation  f.-om  the  Illinois  Asylum 
for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  to  tlH>  [llinois  Institu- 
tion for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  and   the  second 
providino-  that  section  7  of  the  act  of  incorporation   which  re- 
quired certificates  of  poverty  from  all  who  were  unable  to   pay 
tuition  and  board,  should  b..  repealed,  and  that  the  institution 
be  made  free  to  all  within  the  bounds  of  the  State.    The  Hoard 
in  uro-ino-  the  hitter  chan-e,  state :     "  The  onl  v  effect  of  requirin<r 
these  certificates,  as  far  as  we  can  see,  is    to    deprive    many    ,7! 
those  who  are  actually  too  poor  to  ])ay,  of  the  advantao-es    of 
the  institution.    Many  parents,  thou-h  barely  able  to  pi-ovide 
food  and  raiment  for  their  families,  cannot  brim.-  themselves  to 
the  disaoreeable  task  of  g-oino-  before  two  justices  of  the  peace 
iuv]  asking-  for  certificates  of  poverty." 

F mids  for.  the  supi)ort  of  the  institution  and  for  makin<.'  im- 
provements were  suiiplied  first  by  a  provision  of  the  act  of  in- 
corporation which  set  apart  one  quarter  per   cent,    of   interest 
upon  the  whole  amount  of  the  school, colle-e  and  seminarv fund 
lor  th..  use  of  the  institution,  and  secondly,  bv  an  act  approv-d 
February  23,  1847,  makino- j,,  permanent  api)ropriation  of  three 
thousand  dollars  per  annum  for  the  same  purpose,  and  thirdly, 
by  special  appropriation  for  specific  purposes  until  the  year  1851 
In  the  meantime,  th."  Illinois  State  Hospital  for  the  Insane, and 
tl  e  Illinois  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the  Blind,  had  come 
into  <'xistence  and  xvere  sustained  by  a  special  tax  whi.-h  gave  to 
them  an  assured  stability  very  desirable,  and  one  which  this  in- 
sl'tution  very  greatly  needed  for  its    more    conhdent    proo-.-ess 
The  vicissitudes  that  always  nttend  an  appropriation   betV)re  a 
legislature  are  seriously  distracting-,  not   only   to    a    board    of 
trustees  and  superintendent,  but  also  to  all  subordinate  otticers 
who  cannot  be  oblivious  to  the  fact  that  an  oversight  or  a  cler- 
ical error  may  subject  them  for  two  years  to  weighty  inconven- 
ience, if  not  to  the  entire  loss  of  the  means  of  subsistence;   and 
to  the  pupils  also,  who  are  well  aware  that  the  entire . -on. se  of 
their  life  may  be  changed  to  their  very  g,-eat  an<l  lifelong  disad- 
vantage and  perhaps  discomfiture.     It  is  as  true  of  d.-nf  mutes 


h 


20 

as  of  others    that  for  the  best  results  of  Hc-hool  work  theirn.inds 
reqn.re  the  absence  of  distracting,-  anxieties  an<l    disturbing,   i,, 
fluenees.    It  .s  entirely  an  error  to  suppose  that    the    pupHs  of" 
such  an  n.st.tut.on  take  no  thouuht  upon   these   subjects        „ 
deed    no    other   class  of  students  enter  more  fully  into  all  ihat 
affects  then-  instructors  as  well  as  then.selves.    The  directors!, 
the  fill h  report  presented  this  subject  to  the  General    Assen.blv 
and  rcconunended  that  the  institution  thereafter  should  be  su^ 
-tained  by  special  tax. 

"The  directors  would  respectfully   urg-e   upon  your  considoru- 
tion  the  propriety  of  establishing-  the  institution  upon    a  n.orP 
pernutnent  basis.     Although    the   institution    for  tL  deaf  .„d 
<lun,b  was  the  pioneer  of  the  three  noble  st.ite  charities  anmno,t 
us,  yet    wl„  e  the  other  two  have  a  pernmnent  fund  upon  whi;]. 
to  rely  for  then-  support  fron,  year  to  year,   this  institution  i,s 
oblige.^  to  sol.ct  special  appropriations  at  every  session  of  the 
eg.sat.tre.     We  have  tto  cause  to  cotnplain  of  any  wani  of 
e  ahty  ott  the,  part  of  the  legislature  towards  the  institution-  on 
the  contrary,  we  are  proud  in  being  able  to  say  that  no  aj),..,! 
has  ever  oeen  tnade  by  the  institution  but  what  has    bee,;  , net 
by  a  hearty  response  from  both  branches  of  the  General  Assen,- 
bly     Still  we  cannot  but  feel  that  there  is  a  degree  of  uncer- 
tatnty  and  tnstabihty  necessarily  connected  with  this  metho.i  of 
supporting  the  institution,  which  is  a  disadvantage  to  it      We 
would  therefore  beg  leave  to  recommend  that  the  institution  ],e 
«uppot^ted  either  by  an  appropriation  which  shall  be  annual  and 
Huthcient  to  cover  at  least  the  ordinary  expenses,  or  bv  a  special 
tax    as  ,s  the  case  with  the  other  two  institutions.    Of  the  two 
methods  proposed,  the  Board  would  prefer  the  latter,  as  it  would 
rehe^•e  them  of  the  responsibility  and  embarrassment  conttccted 
uith  the  disposal  ot  so  large  an  amount  of  auditor's  warrants 
and  as  the  institution  would  thereby  become  more  extensivoh' 
known  throughout  the  State  than  by  any  means  of  publicnti.;. 
Mithin  the  power  of  the  Board." 

This  subject  was  favorably  considered  by  the  General  Asscn,- 
oij,  and  an  act  ai)proved  April  18,  1857,  provided- 

fh'Tn^*  ^V^''  "'"■^"''  °^  ^lofraying  the  ordinary  expenses  of

Such  a  provision  for  the  support  of  an  institution  is  the  ideal 
one,  so  far  as  the  institution   itself  is  <-oncerne<l,   but  whether 
tl.is  does  not  ,n  a  measure   estop  the  frequent  exhibit  to  the 
p."..pe  o    Its  workmo.  and   prevent  the  recoc^nition  of  the  ac- 
oount^abdity  .winch  should  never  be  forgotten  by  public  officers 
may  be  senously  questioned.    As  the  manao-er   of   an    institu! 
tion  one  should   n.ost  unhesitating.ly  favor  it,  but  as  a  citizen 
and  tax,,ayer  one  would  object  to  it.     But  whether  the  wisest 
or  not,  the  law  under  consideration  was  continued  in  force  only 
our   years,  be,ng-  repealed    by    an    act    amending,-   the   revenue 
aws.  Feb,;uaiy  14,  1855,  since  which  tin.e  its  n^-essiti  'Tave 
been  provided  for  by  special  acts  of  successive  sessions  of  the 
Genera   Assembly,  with  the  exception  of  the  small  amour.t  that 
accrued  to  the  institution  in  pursuance  of  the  act  of  inc-orpora- 
on.  whn.  set^apnrt  to  it,  as  already  detailed,  a  small  por- 
on  Of   the  mterest  of  the  school,  colleoe  and  seminarv  fund 
ilns.  however,  was  taken  fron.  it  and  turned  over  to  the  ^Illinois 
^oi-mal  University  in  the  year  1872. 

Ueference  has  been  made  to  the  conflict  between  the  principal's 
and  steward's  departments,  which  resulted  in  the  dismissal  of 
three  stewards  by  the  Board  and  the  abolishment  of  the  stew 
ard  s  office  in  all  the  institutions  of  the  State  bv  an  act  of  the 
-neml  Assembly,  February  13,  1857.  The  events  that  led  up 
to  these  dismissals  and  this  enactment  were  attended  with  verv 
unplcasant  controversies  between  the  friends  of  the  parties  most 
H.<erested.     Hitter   anta^^onisms,  as  was  inevitable'^nde:  Teh 


22 

circumstances,  were  en<?en(lereil  which  could  not  be  wuppresscd. 
The  consequence  was  that  after  th<^  failure  of   i-epeatod  efforts 
to  harmonize  the  discordant  elements  in  the  Jioard  of  Directors, 
and  in  the  institution,  that  on  the  Kith  of  October,  1855,  Mr! 
Thomas  Officer  resigned    the  office  of  principal  of  the    institu- 
tion.    Tills  was  shortly  followed   by  the  resifrnation  of  the  sec 
i-etar\-  and  treasurer,  and  by  the  withdrawal  of  two  memhors 
from  the  Board.    Rev.  Thomas  M.  Newell,  who    had    been  one 
of   the   instructors    for   four   years,    was    offered    the   office  of 
princii)al,   but    declined    to    accept    it    or   eveu    to   superintoud 
the    school    until  a  competent  i)rincii)al    could    be  found.    The 
institution   heiu^  without  a  competent  head   was  thrown  into 
great  confusion:  the   pupils  most  of   them  absc(^nded,  or  were 
removed  by  friends;  some  teacheivs  withdrew,  and   others,  hav- 
ing  nothing  to  do,  were  dispensed   with,  only  two  remaining  to 
instruct  the  few   pupils  who    had  continued  at  the  institution. 
Rev.  Newton  Cloud,  a  member  of  the  Board,  a  gentlemen  held 
in  the  hio-hest  esteem  by  the  entire  community,  was  requesti^d 
to  accept  the  office  of  pi-incipal,  and  Wfis  by  action  of  the  Board 
clothed  with   all    authority  i)ertaining   to    that    position.    Mr, 
Cloud  consented  to  do  the  best  he  could  under  the  demoralized 
condition    of  affairs,  but  knowing  himself  not  qualified  foi-  the 
position,  and  being  too  honest  to  hold  a  position  he  could  not 
faithfully  and    efficiently  fill,  would    only  consent  to  occupy  it 
until  a  competent  principal  (pialitied  by  professional  knowledoe 
and  actual  experience  could  be  obtained  to  discharge  its  duties 
permai'ontly.    Soon  after  Mr.  Officei-'s  i-esignation  a  commit teo 
of  five  members  of  the  Boai-d  was  a])pointed  'To  ascertain  who 
can  be  employed  to  act  as  principal  of  the  institution,"  but  tlie 
withdrawal  of  the  chairman  of  the  committee  from  the  Board 
and  other  causes  prevented  theii-  doing  anything  in  the  mutter, 
After  reorganization  and  some  futile  efforts  to  act,  the  commit- 
tee, upon  their  own  request,  were  discharged,  and  the  president 
of   the    Board   was    requested    to   visit  various    institution.s  in 
search  of  a  competent  man  for  the  position.    After  a  seaicli  of 
two  months  he  returned    and    recommended  to  the  Board  Mr. 
Edward  Peet,  of  New  York,  who  was  unanimously  elected  and 
notified  thereof,  and  requested  to  enter  uj»on  his  duties  as  })nn- 
cipal  of  the  institution  without  delay.    Mr.  Peet  promptly  ap- 


23 

pea  red  on  the  oTound.  and  a  meeting  jof   the    Board    was   eon- 
vciH'd   at   his   desire   to   conclude   negotiations,   but  when  the 
Board  convened,  to  their  surprise,  Mr.  Peet  had  "quietly  folded 
his  tent"  and  returned  to  New  York  without  waiting    to    meet 
the   gentlemen    of   the    Hoard,    some    of  whom  lived^in  remote 
places  in  the  State.    Mr.  Peet,  however,  favored  the  Hoard  with 
a  letter  from  his  home  in  New   York  declining  to  accept  tlu?  ap- 
pointment.   The  president  of  the  Hoard  was  instructed  to  open 
immediate  communication  with  Mr.  I'hilip  G.  (iillett,  of  the  In- 
diana institution,  with  whom  he  had  some   negotiations   while 
on  his  way  to   the  East,    and    who   had   failed    to   receive  an 
important    communication    forwarded    him    by    mail    several 
weeks   before.    The   president   (tarried    out  his  instructions    by 
deputizing     Rev.     Newton    Cloud,     the     acting     principal      to 
personally  visit  Mr.  GiUett   at    his   home   in    Indianaj.olis  and 
close  an   engagement   with   him   if   possible.     Mr.  Cloud,  who 
had    grown    weary    of    the    novel  labors    he    had   undertaken 
and  had    be/iome   satiated    with    its   honors,    lost  no   time   in 
making  the  proposed    visit   and    bringing   back    with    him   the 
young  man  in  search  of  whom    he  was  disf)atched.    Mr.  Cloud 
having   captured,   wisely    bagged    his   game    and   took  him   at 
once    to    the    institution,    where    he    was    safe  from  any  evil 
influences  that    might   tend    to    scare    him    away.    Mr.  (iillett, 
after  a  few  days'  survey  of  the  situation,  and  becoming  assured 
that    all    requisite   and    pi-oper    authoi-ity     and     i)rerogatives, 
including  the  selection  of  all  subordinate   officers,   would  be  ac' 
ooided  him,  and  that  he  should  be  the  sole  head  of  the  institu- 
ti(ni  and  the  sole  organ  of  communication   between   the    Hoard 
and  the  subordinate   departments,  signified    his    willingness  to 
accept  the  position  of  principal.    Some  of  his  friends  tirought  it 
a  rash  thing  for  a  beardless  youth  to  do,  but  accounted   for  it 
upon  the  principle  that    "fools    rush    in   where    angels    fear   to 
tread."    Mr.    Gillett    (derisively    styled    "that  boy  that's  come 
to  run  the  deaf  and  dumb")  at  once  (April  26,    185(j)    entei-ed 
upon  the  duties  of  the  principalship  of  the  institution.     Of   the 
one  hundred  and  seven  pupils  that  had  been  pi-esent  in  the  U.. 
only  twenty-two  remained.    The  matron  and  all  but  two  of  the 
teachers  liad  left  the  institution,  feeling,  asoneof  the  local  papers 
said  m  announcing  Mr.  Gillett's  coming,  that  "Acceptance  under

for  such  persons  to  devote  their  lives  to  the  work  of  deaf-iiiiii',. 
instruction. 

Ml-.  (Wllett  having'  .seen  some  of  these  sporadic  ca.ses  of  women 
temporarily  engaged    in    instruciting   deaf-mutes,   and    beliinino 
that  as  teachers  of  childi-en    none   are    supei-ior   to    women,  in 
orgam'zing  a  cori)s  of  insti-uction    api)ointed    a  woman  upon  it 
as  a  I'cgiilar  and  p<'rma,nent  tea(!her.    This  has  been  followed  hy 
.similar  appointnients  in  this  and   all    the    other  institutions  of 
America,  until  now  more    than    two-thirds    of   the   teachers  of 
deaf-mutes  in  .Vmerica  are  women.    It  is   urged   by  eminent  au- 
thority thatiin  this  the  profession  had  deterioi'ated,  but  no  one 
has  yet  shown  that  the  work  accomplished  i'>.  the  scliool  rooms 
of  the  institutions  for  the  deaf  and  dumb  is  at  all  inferior  to 
that  of  forty  years  ago.     It  is  believed  to  be  bettei-.      In  select- 
ing women  for  instructors  the  same  governing  principles  were 
recognized  as  in  selectinj.-  ukmi,   that  they  should  have  a  collcoo 
education  or  its  equivalent.    On  this  subject,  in  his  fii-st  report 
to  the  Board  of  l)ire(;tois.  the  principal  insisted.    In  the  orgfui- 
ization  of  an  institution   nothing  is  of  greater  imi)ortance  liuiii 
to  secure  persons  of  superior  attainments  to  fill  the  offices  of  the 
intellectual  and  its  cognate  departments,  and  to  make  their  sit- 
uations permanent.      ^'No  person  is  qualified  for  a  situation  in 
a  deaf  mute  institution  wluM;ould  not  succeed  in  any  profession, 
especially  one  whicli  depended  mainly  on  pul)lic  spealiing;  nor  will 
the  ordinary  duties  admit  of  taking  men  worn  out  in  other  pro- 
fessions; nowhere  does  a  drone  succeed  moi-e  jjoorly  t  haii  teach- 
ing the  deaf  and  dumb.      For  teachers  we  must  look  to  younji'. 
entei  prising  persons  in  the  prime  of  life;  and,  as  a  genei-al  rule. 
the  enqoloyment  of  young,  active  officers  is  desirable  in  all  de- 
partments.     If  we  expect  persons  in  the  prime  of  life,  with  the 
world  opening  before  them  its  long  vista  of  hopes  and  anticipa- 
tions,  it  must  be  perfectly  evident  that  a  remuneration  corre-

In  the  tirst^  report  h..  pr(.i)a-red,  Mr.  (Jillett  called  the  attention

dren  were  often  bronoht  here  under  the  n.isai)pr..h.'nsion  that  a^ 
they  were  speechless  that  they  must  be  deaf.    A  nnstak..  cni- 
rnon  even  yet,  a  frequent  concomitant  of  mental  ind)ecility  being 
absence  of  speech  when  the  heai-inji'  faculty  is  i)erfect.    At  tliat 
time  there  was  a  {reneral  .lisbelief  in  the  practicability  of  teach- 
ing  the  feeble-minded,  thou-h  in  the  East.M-n  States  a  few  insti- 
tutions  for  this  class  were  advocate.l  by  the  most  .-autious  and 
conservative  citizens  as  a  wise  measure  of  political  economy  as 
well  as  a  public  duty.    In  this  report  (the  eighth),  Mr.  tiillett 
stated:    "It  will  certainly  be  a  proud  day  for  Illinois  when  she 
can  boast  of  institutions    whose  blessinos.    like  the  rains  and 
dews,  the  air  and  sunshine,  are  festooned  alike  ui)on  all  h..,-  un-

the  legislature,  in  18(55,  was  induced  to  make  an  appropriation 
for  an  experimental  school  for  feebl(^mirided  .'hildren,  which  was 
conducted  by  the  trustees  and  principal  of  the  Institution  for

ous  untd  It  threatened  the  life  of  the  in.stitulion.      Tn  the  earlv 
wniter  of    1870  the  Board  of  Directors  decided  to  (.onHtruCt  a 
water-works  plant  on  a  ntream  known  as  "The  lirook  "  a  mile 
south  of  the  institution,  und   pun.p  the  water  therefroln  to  the 
reservoir  they  had  alrendy  built.    It  would  have  been  winer  had 
they  abandoned  that  reservoir  and  (constructed  a  new  one  on 
the    uo-h    o,.ound   over  which  the  water  was  pumped  from  the 
brook.    This  plan  would  have  ever  after  plarod  tlie  water  in  the 
Imildinf.-  by  o,.avity  and  saved  the  perpetual  labor  of  pumping 
It.     llns  was  appreciated  at  the  time,  but,  havinji-  as  a  dernier 
resort    assumed  the  authority  of  constructing:  the  water-works 
the  Board  of  T,-ustees,  influenced  by  a  desire  to  make  the  small- 
est possible  outlay,  contiiun-d  the  use  of  the  old  reservoir     The 
wuter-works  were  not  finish..!   until   midwinter,  the  pipe  bein.-

for  the  pump  and  boiler  house.    This  proved  successful  and  had 
the  ettect  not  only  to  relieve  the  institution  from  its  distress  but 
demonstrated  to  the  public  the  practicabilitv  of  securing  a  sup- 
1  .V  ot  water  for  the  city  of  Jacksonville  upon  the  same  general 
plan.      Hut  a  few  years  later  the  city  constructed  a  svstem  of 
water.works  for  its  own  use,  from  which  the  institution  has  since 
•secured    its    supj.ly    of    water,    favorable    terms    having   been

use  the  one  which  j.leases  and  aids  him  most,  so  the  deaf  ,m. 
son  will  use  such  class  of  sigr.s  as  is  most  satisfactory  to  him 
Signs  made  with  the  hands  and  arms,  aided  by  the  countenance" 
being  more  perspicuous  and  often  ideographic,  the  deaf  person' 
If  le  t  to  himself,  will  almost  universally  adopt.    Hence  it  is  that 
children  who  lose  hearing  after  speech  has  been  acquired  cease 
to  talk  and  will  not  resume  it  until  special  efforts  are  taken  to 
induce  them  to  do  so.      To  impart  speech  to  one  who  does  not 
hear,    or  for  such  an  one  to  acquire  speech,  is  one  of  the  most 
difficult  undertakings  to  which  a  human  being  can  address  him- 
self, for  he  possesses  only  half  of  the  organ  of  speech  since  the 
organ  of  hearing  is  as  important  an  element  in  speech  as  the 
organ  of  voice.    There  is  no  speech  of  any  race  of  men  independ- 
ent  of  the  sense  of  hearing. 

In  that  large  class  of  persons  commonly  known  in  community 

as  deaf-mutes,  there  are  several  divisions,  whose  conditions  aii 

quite  unlike;  1st,  those  whose  deafness  is  congenital,  or  super- 

vened  before  speech  had  been  learned;  2d,  those  whose  deafness 

was  acquired  after  they  had  learned  to  talk  but  at  so  early  an 

age   that   their  memory  of  speech  is  indistinct;    Sd,  those  \vho 

became  deaf  so  late  that  they  retain    a  distinct  recollection  of 

speech;  4th,  those  whose  deafness  is  only  partial.    The  third  and 

fourth  of  these  divisions  can,  with  comparative  ease,  use  yo.al 

utterance,  though  the  fourth  experience  much  less  difficulty  in 

reading  the  lip  signs  of  others.      Many  of  the  second  and  a'few 

of  the  hrst  division  can  learn  to  speak,  though  all  of  the  first 

and  second  divisions  experience  difficulty  in  reading  the  lip-sjon^' 

of  others.    Just  which   members  of  these  classes  will  be  succL- 

ful  articulators  and  lir.-readers  no  one  can  know  until  an  onnor- 

tunity   IS  given  all  of  them   to  test  their  ability.      In  the  year 

1868  classes  in   articulation  and  lip-reading  were  orgamVcd  in 

this  institution,  and  have  been  continued  to  the  present  time. 

The  practice  of  the  institution  is  to  test  all  pupils  who  ar.  ad- 

mitted,  to  learn  who  give  promise  of  .succ.«8s  in  the.se  classo«,  .tnd 

continue  such  in  them  during  their  continuance  in  the  institution.

kind  to  whom 

"The  blind,  the  deaf,  the  dumb  were  bicught 
Lepers  and  lame,  and  all  were  healed." 
Thi.s  department  of  the  institution  has  been  conthnionHly  ex- 
e,ided  until  there  are  now  eio-ht  instructors  whose  sole  duty  is 
to  teach  articulation  and  lip-reading 

AS  this  was  the  first  of  the  State  institutions  of  Illinois,  which 
have  become  so  numerous,  and  whose  support  involves  so  lar^e 
an  expenditure  in  recent  years,  comprising  more  than  half  the  an- 
nnal  expenditures  provided  for  by  the  General  Assembly   it  will 
not  be  a  matter  of  surprise  that  there  have  been  a  number  of 
chanK-es  m  tlu>   law  governing  its  suppor.   and  management, 
llie  act  o    incorporation  approved  February  23,  1839,  empow 
ered  the  directors,  twenty  in  number,  to    fill  all  vacancies  in 
then-   own    body    whether   occurring    by  death,   resignation  or 
0  ...wise.    The  Board  exercised  this  prerogati;e  until  the  ^ei: 
1849,  when  by  an  act  approved   February  3  the  number  of  di- 
rectors was  reduced  to  twelve,  to  be  appointed  by  the  governor

reduced  the  number  of  directors  to  six,  exclusive  of  the  princi- 
pal, who  was  continued  ex-officio  a  member  of  the  Board,   no 
two  of  whom  should  be  residents  of  the  same  county,   with  a 
provision  that  no  member  of  the  Board  should  be  employed  or 
appointed  in  or  to  any  office  or  place  under  the  authority  of 
the  Board,  or  should  be  directly  or  indirectly  interested  in  any 
contract  to  be  made  by  said  Board  for  any  purpose  whatevoi'. 
This  law  continued  in  force  till  April  9,  1869,  when  this  insti- 
tution with  all  the  others  belono-ino-  to  or  sustained  in  whole  or  in 
part  by  the  State  were  brought  under  the  opei-ation  of  one  act 
intended  to  unify  the  institutional  work  of  the  State  govein- 
ment.    This  last  act  and  one  supplemental  to  it  approved  A]nil 
15,  1875,  still  in  force,  are  founded  in  wisdom.    The  population 
and  resources  and  improvements  of  the  State  of  Illinois  for  thiee 
decades  had  been  growing  with  unexampled  rapidity.     Along- 
with  this  growth  was  a  large  increase  of  those  classes  of  people 
found  in  all  times  and  races  who  by  some  physical  or  mental 
impairment  require  unusual  means  of  instruction,  treatment  or 
care.    The  humane  and  enlightened  influences  of  the  people  of 
the  State  kept  pace  with  the  necessities  of  the  times.    The  con- 
sequence was  that  the  little  Asylum  for  the  Deaf  and    Dumb 
chai-tered  in  1889  and  opened  in  1846  with  four  deaf  mut«'s 
had  been  followed  by  others,  one  at  a  time,  until  at  the  end  of 
thirty  years  after   the  first  legislative    action    they    numbered 
thirteen,  and  their  inmates  weiv^  counted  by  the  thousand  with 
the  outlook  indicating  that  an  increase  of  institutions  and  a 
large  increase  of  their  inmntes  were  inevitalile  in  the  not  re- 
mote future.    Each  of  the  institutions  existed  by  virtue  of  -ni- 
actments  peculiar  to  itself,  no  two  of  them  being  very  similar. 
and  their  management  as  dissimilai-  as  the  laws  bringing  tliPin 
into  existence;  of  course  there  woidd  inevitably  be  confusion  if 
not  conflict  of  interest  from  so  many  institutions  in  various 
localities  throughout  the  State.     It  would  not  be  considered  at 
all  strange  if  under-  such  circumstances  the  managers  of  the  in 
stitutions  felt  themselves  invited  to  the  exercise  of  such  adroit 
expedients  as  they  deemed   not    improper  for  advancement  of 
their  several    institutions.      The  systems    of   keeping   accounts 
were  so  divei'se  (hat  (he  citizen  desiring  to  ascertain  correct  in- 
formation as  to  the  use  of  publi(>  funds  approi)riated  to  tlie 
various  institutions  could  do  so  onlv  with  difticultv.

The  proper,  eager  interest  of  one  whose  life-thouo-ht  and  work- 
has  been  given  to  a  particular  enterprise  may  preclude  him  fr„m 
duly  recoo-nizino.  the  just  claims  of  others,  and  his  s(.hemes  for 
future  development  may,  for  this  reason,  all  the  niore  fittin<>ly 
be  carefully  scrutinized  by  wise  and  discriminatinji'  persons  ulio 
sustain  advisory  relations  to  many  others.     That  there  have 
been  sharp  differences  between  the  officers  of  this  institution  and 
the    Board  of  Charities  upon  the  wisdom  of  proposed  policies 
and  animated  discussions  upon  them  is  true,  but,  as  should  al' 
ways  be  the  case  with  high  minded  men  after  the  questions  at 
issue    were   settled    and  the  "smoke  of  the  contest  had  clearer! 
away,"  no  personal  animosities  remained,  and  the  general  «rood 
had  been  advanced.    All  the  operations  of  both  the  boards  have 
been    conducted    with  a  view  upon  the  part  of  each  to  do  the 
best  possible.     The  pleasant  working  of  this  system,  so  far  as 
this  institution  is  concerned,  has  been  largely  due  to  the  fact 
that  the  members  of  both  boards  were  men  of  honor,  entirely 
above   infiuehce   of  partisan  or  personal  considerations.     Only 
men  of  such  character  are  suitable  for  such  trusts.     The  State 
of  Illinois  may  be  congratulated  that   its   executives   have  so 
wisely  exercised  their  appointive  power. 

The  subject  of  a  library  for  the  use  of  the  pupils  and  the  offi. 
cers  of  the  institution  received  no  attention  worth  naming  in  the 
first  years  of  its  existence.     Some  regard  was  had  to  it  in  the 
second  decade  of  the  institution,  but  it  was  not  until  the  vear 
1870  that  the  subject  was  systematically  and  energeticallv  t-iken 
in  hand.     At  every  session  of  the  General  Assembly  since  that 
the  subject  has  been  presented,  with  an  application  for  a  small 
appropriation  to  be  used  in  this  way.     It  is  a  pleasure  to  say 
that  this  has  met  with  the  most  ready  and  heartv  approval  of 
every  session  of  that  honorable  body.    An  annual  appropriation 
of  five  hundred  dollars,  for  the  purchase  of  books  and  repairs  of 
the  old  and  worn  ones,  has  been  made.     A  judicious  use  of  the 
money,   with  the  trade  discounts,   has  brought  together  a  col- 
lection of  over  thirteen  thousand  volumes,  which  are  among  the 
best  productions  of  ancient  and  modern  times.     The  greatest 
care  has  been  exercised  in  the  selection  of  these  books  to  secure 


37 


rhr  works  of  the  best  authors.     The   departments   of  history 

povtry,  fiction,  travel,  science,  biography,  and  art,  vvitli  tlie  best 

en.  ych)])e(has  and  other  books  of  reference  are  each  quite  full 

Xotl.ing  tends  more  to  give  an  institution  a  good  uplift  than  a 

oood  library.      Its  influence  is  not  ephemeral  but  far  reaching 

attcctmg  the  taste  and  habits  of  the  pupils  to  the  remotest  per 

10.1  oi  their  lives,  keeping  them  upon  a  higher  plane  than  they 

would,  without  it,  ever  have  attained.    The  love  of  good  books 

IS  one  of  the  most  ennobling  traits  than  any  one  can  possess 

bub  tor  a  deaf  person  it  is  of  far  greater  importance  than  to  any 
other  person.  "^ 

Sin.'c   the  commencement  of  the  school  there  have  been  two 
ihousand,  two  hundred   and   fifty-five  pupils  enrolled,  of  whom 
one  thousand,  two  hundred  and  eighty  seven  ure  males,  and  nine 
hnn.lred  and  sixty-eight  are  females.    They  were  members  of  two 
thousand  and  seven  families.    In  one  family  there  were  six  deaf 
mutes.     In  seven  families  there  were  four  deaf  mutes      In  fifty 
four  families  there  were  three  deaf  mutes.     In  one  hundred  and 
fifteen  families  there  were  two  deaf  mutes.    In  one  thousand  ei-ht 
hundred    and    twenty-nine   families   there   was    one    deaf-mute 
Though  there  are,  doubtless,  some  of  whom  the  fact  has  not 
l)oen   learned,   yet    one  hundred  and  ten  of  the  Dupils  enrolled 
have  been  reported  as  the  off-spring  of  parents  of  consanguineous 
oi'igin  as  follows: 
79  children  of  first  cousins. 
12  children  of  second  cousins, 
1 1  children  of  third  cousins. 
H  children  of  fourth  cousins. 
I  the  grandchild  of  first  cousins. 
1  the  child  of  uncle  and  niece, 
it  is  worthy  of  note  that  in  families  where  tlie  parents  were 
first  cousins  in  one  case  there  were  four   deaf-mutes;    in  three 
cases  there  were  three  deaf-mutes;  in  seven  cases  there  were  two 
deaf-mutes.    In  families  where  the  parents  were  second  cousins 
m  one  case  there  were  three   deaf-mutes:  and  in  one  there  were 
two  deai-mutes.    In  families  where  the  parents  were  third  cousins 
in  one  case  there  were  three  deaf-mutes  and  in  two  there  were

THE  GEORGIA  SCHOOL  FOR  THE  DEAF. 

In  the  year  1833  a  memorial  was  presented  to  the  legisla- 
ture of  Georgia,  by  John  J.  Flournoy,  a  semi-mute,  of  Jackson 
county,  praying  for  the  establishment  of  an  institution  for 
the  education  of  the  deaf  and  dumb. 

This  memorial  was  referred  to  the  Governor,  Hon.  Wilson 
Lumpkin,  with  a  request  that  he  obtain  full  information  and 
rejiort  to  the  next  meeting  of  the  general  assembly ;  so  in 
November,  1834,  the  Governor,  who  had  become  much  inter- 
ested in  the  subject,  laid  before  the  legislature  all  the  infor- 
mation he  had  secured,  expressing  himself  as  particularly  in- 
debted to  Governor  Fort,  of  Connecticut,  and  to  Lewis  Weld, 
principal  of  the  American  Asylum  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  at 
Hartford,  Connecticut. 

In  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1834,  Mr.  Weld,  accompanied 
by  two  deaf-mutes,  Edmund  Booth,  of  Massachusetts,  one  of 
his  assistant  teachers,  and  Thomas  S.  Perkins,  of  Connecticut, 
one  of  his  pupils,  who  was  then  a  lad  of  about  twelve  years  of 
age,  visited  the  capital  of  Georgia,  and  Mr.  AVeld  says  of  this 
visit : 

We  reiicliecl  Milledgeville  on  the  thirteenth  of  December,  and  I  lost 
no  time  in  introducing  myself  and  my  pxipils  to  Governor  Lumpkin. 
The  Governor  rtjceived  me  and  my  pupils  with  marked  affability  and 
kindness,  and  e.xpressed  himself  as  much  gratified  that  we  had  come  on 
without  waiting  for  his  letter,  which  he  sent  for  to  the  post-office  and 
handed  me  himself.  He  informed  me  that  the  committee  of  the  Senate 
to  whom  my  communication  of  last  September  had  been  referred,  with 
other  deaf  and  dumb  documents  from  here  and  from  other  places,  had 
made  a  report  and  offered  cirtain  I'esolutions  jiroviding  for  the  educa- 
tion of  the  indigent  deaf-mutes  of  Georgia:  that  this  rep(n-t  had  l)een 
favorably  received  and,  though  not  acted  on  at  all  in  the  lower  house, 
there  was  reason  to  hope  it  might  pass  in  both,  especially  if  a  favorable 
impression  should  be  nuide  by  an  exhibition  of  my  pupils.  *  *  *  The 
impression  produced  by  my  pupils  was  evidently  very  favorable  before 
their  public  exhibition.  This  took  place  on  Monday  evening,  the 
fifteenth,  in  the  llepresentative  room,  and  was,  I  believe,  very  satis- 
factory. 

The  board  of  directors  of  the  American  Asylum,  in  their 
nineteenth  report,  use  this  language  : 

The  reception  of  our  delegation  by  the  executive  and  legislature  of 
Georgia  was  also  very  gratifying   to  the  board,  and  particularly  the  pas- 


The  Georgia  Sc/iool. 


sage  of  the  liberal  and  benevolent  act  above  referred  to  (appropriatiurr 
three  thousand  dollars),  which  took  place  before  the  close  of  the  session. 
While  they  are  thun  trying  the  experiment  of  educating  them  abroail, 
they  will  have  the  opportunity  of  deciding,  on  data  which  must  be 
constantly  accumulating,  whether  it  is  best  to  establish  a  Southern 
Institution. 

On  Saturday,  December  20,  1834,  Hon.  John  W.  Burney, 
of  Jasper  county,  introduced  into  the  House  of  Representatives 
a  series  of  resolutions,  prescribing  the  method  by  which  to 
carry  into  effect  the  purposes  sought  to  be  attained  by  the 
above-mentioned  appropriation,  which  were  immediately  agreed 
to,  and  the  llev.  Elijah  E.  Sinclair  was,  under  these  resolu- 
tions, the  first  commissioner  appointed  by  Govei-nor  Lumpkin, 
in  March,  1835,  to  gather  up  and  convey  to  the  American 
Asylum,  at  Hartford,  Connecticut,  the  deaf-mutes  of  Georgia. 
He  was  faithful  and  zealous  in  this  Avork  ;  was  reappointed 
successively  by  Governors  Schley  and  Gilmer,  and  was  pub- 
licly complimented  by  the  legislature  for  his  efficiency  and  in- 
tegrity. He  travelled  extensively  over  the  State  searching  for 
deaf-mutes,  but  he  succeeded  in  inducing  only  a  few  to  accei)t 
the  beneficence  of  the  State.  This  office  was  filled  in  succes- 
sion by  Rev.  S.  G.  Hillyer  and  Rev.  Jesse  H.  Campbell,  both 
efficient  officers. 

The  number  of  deaf-mutes  who  were  sent  to  the  American 


1835 


Asylum  for  education  was  as  follows :  In  ie<JO,  eigiit ;  m 
1836,  three ;  in  1837,  four ;  in  1839,  two ;  in  1840,  one ;  in 
1842,  one ;  in  1843,  one ;  in  1844,  four ;  in  all  twenty-four, 
each  of  whom  remained  from  one  to  six  years. 

In  the  years  1842  and  1843  five  deaf-mutes,  children  of  Asa 
Prior,  (if  Paulding  county,  two  of  whom  had  spent  several 
years  in  the  American  Asylum,  were  sent  as  day  pupils  to  the 
Cedar  Valley  Academy,  which  stood  near  the  large  sjiring  in 
Cedartowu,  and  was  jn-esided  over  by  Benjamin  Mosely,  a 
noted  educator  of  that  day,  which  may  be  considered  as  the 
first  attempt  made  in  Georgia  to  impart  instruction  to  the 
deaf  and  dumb.  No  record  remains  of  this  work  that  will 
give  any  idea  of  the  measure  of  success  that  attended  the 
efforts  made  during  these  two  years,  but  it  is  i^resumed  that 
it  did  not  amount  to  much,  as  there  was  no  one  connected 
with  the  enterprise  who  had  had  any  experience  with  the  deaf 
and  dumb. 

The  deaf-mutes  of  Georgia  are  indebted  much  to  the  energy 
and  efficient  action  of  Rev.  Jesse  H.  Campbell  for  his  agency 


The  Geovg'iii  School.  5 

in  i)rocuring  the  location  of  an  inHtitution  for  their  instruction 
within  the  limits  of  the  State.  His  philanthropic  and  Christian 
heart  prompted  him  to  endeavor  to  ameliorate  the  condition  of 
those  who,  on  account  of  the  distance  to  the  American  Asylum, 
would  not  avail  themselves  of  the  privileges  offered  by  the 

State. 

His  first  step  was  to  have  the  previous  acts  amended  so  as 
to  allow  deaf-mutes  to  be  educated  in  Georgia  upon  the  same 
terms  as  at  Hartford.  One  section  of  the  amendatory  act, 
approved  December  25,  1845— and  a  grand  Christmas  gift  it 
proved  to  be  to  the  deaf-mutes  of  the  State— was  as  follows: 

Section  3.  And  be  it  further  enacted  by  the  authority  aforemid,  That 
His  Excellency  the  Governor  be  authorized  to  remove  such  beneficiaries 
as  are  now  at  the  said  Asylum  at  Hartford,  if  the  means  of  a  proper  edu- 
cation be  supplied  at  the  Cedar  Valley  Academy,  or  elsewhere,  on  the 
same  terms  of  economy  tc  this  State,  and  the  general  usefulness  of  the 
appropriation,  made  by  said  act  of  1838." 

After  the  passage  of  this  amendment  he  opened  a  corre- 
spondence with  the  trustees  of  several  institutions  of  learning, 
and  among  them  was  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  Hearn 
Manual  Labor  School,  at  Cave  Spring,  in  Floyd  county.  An 
arrangement  was  effected  between  Mr.  Campbell  and  the 
trustees  of  this  school,  by  which  a  department  should  be  opened 
for  the  reception  of  deaf-mute  pupils.  The  preliminary  ar- 
rangements having  been  completed,  Mr.  O.  P.  Fannin,  the 
associate  principal  of  the  Hearn  School,— a  Georgian  by  birth 
and  education,— and  a  gentleman  of  fine  literary  attainments, 
was  deputized  to  proceed  to  Hartford  to  learn  the  method 
of  teaching  the  deaf  and  dumb,  and  to  bring  the  Georgia 
pupils  from  the  American  Asylum  and  enter  them  in  the 
deaf-mute  department  of  the  Hearn  School.  This  depart- 
ment was  placed  under  the  immediate  supervision  of  Mr. 
Fannin,  and  upon  his  return,  after  an  absence  of  several 
months,  was  opened  May  15,  1840,  in  a  log  cabin  which  stood 
directly  in  the  rear  of  the  present  Hearn  School  building,

county  ;  Iklurdock  McDutfie,  of  Pulaski  county  ;  Temperance 
L.  Jordan,  of  Oglethorpe  county,  and  Elmira  Pugh,  of  Upson 

county. 

This  periotl,  to  which  the  friends  of  the  deaf  and  dumb 
can  no7C  look  with  pleasing  reflections,  was  fraught  with  a  de- 
gree of  interest  far  beyond  anything  that  was  conjectural  at

the  time.  Tho  novelty  of  the  tuulertakinfjf,  ami  the  entire 
absence  of  any  knowledge  of  the  deaf-naute  character,  as  well 
as  of  the  obstacleH  that  stood  in  the  way  of  hin  acquiring  an 
education,  on  the  part  of  all  persoua  connected  therewith, 
Heemed  to  carry  with  it  the  promiHe  of  an  early  failure  and  dis- 
continuance ;  but  such  was  not  the  case,  for  the  projectors 
"  had  builded  wiser  than  they  knew." 

While  in  attendance  upon  this  department  the  pupils  were 
boarded  in  private  families  ;  the  males  with  A.  Richardson  and 
Carter  W.  Sparks,  and  the  females  with  Rev.  W.  D.  Cowdrey. 

Of  course,  the  results  of  the  school  work  which  followed  the 
opening  of  this  department  were  not  such  as  could  have  been 
desired,  but  under  the  adverse  circumstances  in  which  the 
labor  was  performed  they  were  such  as  would  commend 
themselves  to  the  good  judgment  of  the  friends  of  the  deaf 
and  dumb  all  over  the  State.  In  the  meantime  the  services 
of  Mr.  Josephus  B.  Edwards,  formerly  a  beneficiary  of  the 
State  at  the  Americau  Asylum,  were  secured  as  an  assistant 
teacher.  The  number  of  pupils  had  increased  to  a  dozen  or 
more,  and  thus  the  department  stood  at  the  close  of  the  year 
1847. 

At  the  session  of  the  legislature  in  the  winter  of  1847,  the 
second  step  was  taken  toward  the  establishment  of  a  perma- 
nent institution  for  the  deaf  and  dumb  in  Georgia,  by  the  pas- 
sage of  an  act,  which  was  approved  December  16,  1847,  locat- 
ing the  Georgia  Asylum  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  in  Cave 
Spring,  and  making  the  necessary  appropriations  for  support 
and  for  school  purposes,  and  for  the  election  of  a  suitable 
building.  This  act  also  authorized  the  Governor  to  appoint  a 
board  of  five  commissioners,  one  of  whom  must  be  the  teacher 
in  charge  of  the  deaf-mute  department  of  the  Hearn  School, 
under  whose  supervision  and  control  the  Institution  should  be 
conducted.  Mr.  Fannin  and  Dr.  I.  N.  Culbertson  visited  Mil- 
ledgeville  in  the  interests  of  the  deaf  and  dumb,  and  used  their 
influence  in  securing  the  passage  of  this  act. 

The  five  commissioners  appointed  by  the  Governor  under 
this  act,  were  Dr.  George  D.  Philips,  of  Habersham  county ; 
Dr.  Leonidas  B.  Mercer,  of  Lee  county  ;  Dr.  Isaac  N.  Culbert- 
son,  Oliver  P.  Fannin,  and  Seaborn  J.  Johnson,  of  Floyd 
county.  As  soon  as  practicable,  this  board  met  and  organized 
by  the  election  of  Dr.  I.  N.  Culbertson  president,  and  S.  J. 
Johnson  secretary  and  treasurer.     They  also  elected  Mr.  O.  P.

energy  of  character  well  qualitied  him  for  the  discharge  of  the 
duties  pertaining  to  the  office,  was  chosen  steward,  and  his 
wife,  Mrs.  Sarah  Carroll,  who  was  well  fitted  in  every  way  for

people  of  this  generation  to  say  that  they  accepted  the  posi- 
tions under  a  contract  which  recjuired  them  to  "  furnish  all  the 
necessary  household  and  kitchen  furniture,  and  family  utensils 
nf  such  style  and  quality  as  the  board  of  commissioners  might

approve,  at  their  own  expense,  and  also  to  furnibh  the  shops 
l)ertaiuing  to  said  institution,  with  all  necessary  tools  and  nisite- 
rials  for  carrying  on  the  business  thereof,  and  procure  tlie 
services  of  some  one  or  more  mechanics  of  sufficient  skill  to 
instruct  the  boys  in  the  art  and  mysteries  of  a  trade,  at  his 
■own  expense,  ^jrovided,  nevertheless,  that  it  should  be  such  a 
one  as  the  said  board  of  commissioners  wcnld  approve."  As 
a  compensation  for  all  this  they  were  allowed  the  services  of 
tW  male  mutes  who  were  in  proper  condition  to  laboi',  for  iiiul 
during-  the  hours  set  apart  for  labor,  and  to  appropriate  to 
their  own  use  all  the  proceeds  and  incomes  arising  from  the 
shops,  and,  in  addition,  were  paid  six  dollars  per  month  for 
«ach  pupil  in  attendance.  And  in  this  day  of  technical  train- 
ing it  may  be  well  to  give  from  the  minutes  of  the  meeting  of 
the  board  of  June  24,  1848,  the  following  extract  to  show  that 
the  importance  of  manual  training  was  fully  recognized,  even 
in  the  days  upon  which  modern  writers  are  disposed  to  look 
and  describe  as  days  of  elegant  leisure  and  idleness  on  the  part 
of  the  Southern  people.  Thj  commissioners  say  :  "  The  work 
iug  dej^artment,  which  the  board  conceive  to  be  one  of  the 
most  prominent  and  efficient  auxiliaries  that  has  been,  or  can 
be  employed  to  give  useful  knowledge  to  any  class,  cannot, 
under  the  existing  circumstances,  be  made  as  eftectual  as 
could  be  df  sired." 

Friday,  June  29,  1849,  and  the  Sunday  following,  were  set 
ajiart  for  a  public  examination  of  the  pupils  and  for  a  dedication 
of  the  building.  Hon.  Augustus  E.  Wright,  of  Cassville,  Ga.. 
was  chosen  to  deliver  the  dedication  address,  and  Rev.  N.  G. 
Foster,  of  Madison,  Ga.,  the  dedication  seimcii.  From  the 
high  standing  of  these  gentlemen  as  persons  of  acknowledged 
ability  and  eloquence,  it  is  pt^rhaps  unufcessary  to  say  that  a 
large  concourse  of  pecjjjle  were  on  Land  to  witness  the  novel 
exercises,  and  to  listen  to  the  eloquent  and  learned  discourses 
delivered  by  them,  and  in  which  they  did  full  justice  both  to 
the  theme  and  to  the  occasion. 

On  the  first  day  of  July,  1849,  Sunday,  the  Georgia  Asyliuu 
for  the  Deaf  and  Duml)  began  its  first  legitimate  work. 

In  the  year  1850  the  ell  leading  in  an  easterly  direction, 
twenty-seven  feet  wide  by  fifty-five  feet  long,  was  added. 

In  1854  the  time  allowed  the  pupils  in  school  was  increased 
from  four  years  to  six  years. 

In  1857  the  south  extension,  fifty  feet  wide  by  seventy-two

feet  long,  was  fultled,  together  with  the  twenty  by  twenty- 
seven  feet  addition  to  ihe  east  end.  At  the  same  time  the  okl 
roof  was  taken  off,  and  a  new  one  of  different  style  substituted, 
coxering  the  entire  building.  In  this  year,  also,  the  shop 
building  of  brick,  thirty  feet  by  one  hundred  feet  and  twO' 
stories  liigh,  was  erected. 

In  the  autumn  of  1858  Mr.  Fannin  retired  from  the  work,. 
of  which,  from  the  time  of  its  inauguration  in  the  deaf-mute 
department  of  the  Hearn  School  to  the  time  of  his  departure, 
be  was  the  spirit  and  presiding  genius.  In  every  effort  that 
was  made  to  advance  the  interests  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  of 
Georgia,  during  this  time,  he  was  a  principal  factor.  He  was 
possessed  of  a  rare  insight  into  the  difficulties  that  confronted 
the  deaf  mute  in  his  every  step  in  search  of  written  language  ;. 
most  thorough  in  his  mastery  of  and  graceful  in  his  use  of 
the  sign-language  ;  patient  and  painstaking,  and  withal  a. 
most  indefatigable  worker ;  hence  his  success  in  imparting 
instruction  was  not  to  be  wondered  at.  His  kindness  of  heart 
gave  him  a  genial  disposition  and  personal  magnetism  that 
made  him  friends  wherever  he  was  known. 

Up  to  this  time  the  Asylum  was  managed  under  several  dif- 
ferent heads,  each  independent  of  the  other  and  responsible 
only  to  the  board  of  commissioners. 

Tlie  offices  of  steward  and  matron  were  filled  in  succession 
under  this  plan  by  John  M.  Carroll  and  wife,  1849-1850 ;  Dr. 
William  A.  Love  and  wife,  1851-1853,  Dr.  Love  also  filling  a 
position  as  teacher ;  Seaborn  J.  Johnson  and  wife,  185-4-1857 ; 
Peter  W.  McDaniel,  for  a  few  months  in  1858,  and  Alexander 
T.  Harper,  1858-1859. 

Mr.  Fannin  was  succeeded  as  principal  by  Mr.  Samuel  F. 
Dunlap,  of  Indiana,  who  entered  upon  his  work  in  September, 
1858.  At  the  following  session  of  the  legislature  an  act  was 
passed  making  the  principal  the  executive  head  of  the  Institu- 
tion, and  responsible  to  the  board  of  trustees  for  its  manage- 
ment in  all  its  departments,  which  was  a  long  step  forward  in 
the  right  direction.  At  the  same  time  the  name  of  the  board. 
of  commissioners  was  changed  to  the  l^oard  of  trustees,  and 
the  name  of  the  school  changed  from  the  Georgia  Asylum  for 
tlie  Deaf  and  Dumb  to  the  Georgia  Institution  for  the  Educa- 
tion of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb. 

Mr.  Dunlap  was  retired  in  April,  1860,  and  the  position  of 
principal  tendered  Mr.  Wesley  O.  Connor,  a  young  gentleman

Mr.  William  D.  Cooke,  principal  for  Bixteen  years  of  the 
North  Carolina  Institution,  was  elected  to  fill  the  jiosition  of 
principal,  which  he  accepted,  entering  upon  his  duties  the  first 
of  September,  1860  ;  the  steward,  with  the  assistance  of  the 
teachers,  in  the  meantime,  carrying  on  the  school  to  its  close 
on  the  list  Wednesday  in  June. 

In  June,  18G1,  Mr.  W.  O.  Connor,  having  resigned  his  posi- 
tion as  teacher,  took  leave  of  the  Institution  and  of  his  friends 
to  enter  the  Confederate  service  as  a  private  soldier.  Later  in 
the  year  Mr.  J.  S.  Davis  resigned  for  the  same  purpose,  and 
thus  the  Institution  was  left  without  a  male  teacher. 

When  the  trustees  met,  the  latter  part  of  June,  a  committee 
of  one,  Mr.  W.  R.  Webster,  was  sent  to  the  camp  of  instruction 
at  Big  Shanty,  at  which  Mr.  Connor  was  drilling,  to  see  if  he 
could  be  prevailed  upon  to  return  to  the  service  of  the  Insti- 
tution, as  he  was  more  needed  there  than  in  the  field ;  but  he 
declined  to  return,  although  it  was  intimated  to  him  by  this 
committee  that  a  vacancy  in  the  position  of  principal  was 
probable,  in  which  case  it  would  be  open  to  him  as  a  bomb- 
proof place  under  the  State  government  for  the  war. 

From  the  opening  of  the  Institution  proper,  in  1849,  to 
March,  1862,  there  was  no  break  in  the  operations  of  the 
school,  which  had  continued  to  increase  in  numbers  until 
there  were  about  sixty  pupils  in  attendance.  At  this  date,  on 
account  of  the  turbulent  and  exciting  times,  as  well  as  from 
the  fact  that  the  two  teachers  on  whom  the  principal  relied 
most  were  absent  in  the  army,  the  trustees  thought  best  to 
close  the  doors  of  the  Institution,  which  was  accordingly  done. 
All  the  pupils  were  sent  home  with  the  exception  of  two  orphan 
girls,  and  a  family  selected  to  live  in  the  building,  both  to  care 
for  the  two  girls  and  to  endeavor  to  protect  the  property. 

During  the  whole  four  years  of  war,  although  the  village 
was  first  in  the  hands  of  the  Confederate  and  then  of  the  Fed- 
eral troops,  the  premises  escaped  without  material  injury. 
Much  of  the  bedding,  table-ware,  and  furniture  was  donated 
to  the  hospitals,  and  the  rest  scattered  in  various  ways.  The 
building  was  occujjied  for  short  periods  as  a  hospital  by  both 
the  Federal  and  Confederate  authorities.  The  school-desks 
and  large  slate  blackboards  escaped  uninjured,  for  the  reason, 
it  is  supposed,  that  these  were  two  articles  that  a  soldier  could 
turn  to  no  possible  use.  The  two  girls,  Misses  Iludgins  and 
Bishop,  remained  during  the  war  and  re-entered  the  school  in 
1867.

The  Geory'm  School. 


At  the  session  of  the  legislature  in  November,  18G6,  tin 
first  to  assemble  after  the  war,  an  appropriation  was  made  fn  • 
reojjening  the  school,  and  a  board  of  trustees  ai)pointed,  ti\i; 
of  whom  had  been  members  of  the  former  board.  This  body 
met  as  soon  as  practicable  after  its  appointment,  and  called 
Mr.  W.  O.  Connor,  who  had  ended  his  career  as  a  soldier  in 
prison  at  Camp  Chase,  near  Columbus,  Ohio,  to  the  principal- 
ship.  Mr.  Connor,  after  his  return  from  his  four  years' 
service,  entered  upon  agricultural  pursuits  in  Cherokee  county, 
Alabama,  with  the  intention  of  making  it  his  life  business, 
and  had  not  only  not  mentioned  anything  about  re-entering 
the  work  of  instructing  the  deaf  and  dumb,  but  had  given  the 
subject  no  thought.  The  State  was  not  destined,  however, 
to  lose  his  services,  and  he  was  literally  taken  from  between 
the  plow-handles  and  placed  at  the  head  of  the  Institution. 
Eev.  B.  B.  Quillian  and  wife  were  appointed  steward  and 
matron,  and  Mr.  James  S.  Davis  installed  in  his  old  place  ns 
teacher.  All  ne(;essary  arrangements  having  been  completed, 
the  doors  of  the  Institution  were  again  thrown  open  for  the 
reception  of  pupils,  and  the  exercises  of  the  school  resumed  on 
the  fourth  day  of  February,  18G7,  after  a  cessation  of  near^v 
five  years,  which  covered  a  period  fraught  with  the  most  mo- 
mentous events  of  our  country's  history.  There  were  eight 
pupils  present  on  opening  day,  but  the  number  soon  ran  up 
to  twenty-five.  From  that  time  to  the  present,  the  exercises 
have  continued  without  interruption,  though  several  times, 
during  the  vicissitudes  of  military  government  and  reconstruc- 
tion, it  was  thought  the  Institution  would  be  compelled  to 
close  its  doors ;  but  somehow  it  escaped  such  a  calamity. 
Once,  however,  if  Governor  Bulloch  had  not  assumed  a  per- 
sonal responsibility  for  the  money  necessary  to  keep  it  going 
rather  than  see  its  usefulness  even  temporarily  suspended, 
the  school  would  have  been  disbanded  for  want  of  funds. 

In  1873  fifteen  hundred  dollars  were  expended  to  secure  a 
supply  of  water  for  domestic  purposes  from  the  spring  on  the 
premises. 

Early  in  the  year  1877  an  act  was  passed  by  the  legislature 
appointing  a  new  board  of  trustees,  and  prescribing  that  the 
principal  should  have  his  residence  iu  the  Institution,  which 
up  to  this  time  had  not  been  the  case.  An  act  was  also 
passed  extending  the  time  allowed  pupils  to  remain  in  school 
to  seven  years  for  all,  and  power  conferred  upon  the  board  to 


The  Georgia  School.

grant  an  additional  three  years'  term  in  certain  cases,  upon 
recommendation  of  the  principal. 

The  board  met  as  soon  as  convenient  and,  among  other 
things  acted  upon,  abolished  the  office  of  steward,  as  it  was 
deemed  an  unnecessary  one  in  a  small  Institution,  requiring 
the  principal  to  assume  the  duties  that  had  to  this  time  rlp- 
volved  upon  this  officer. 

In  1878  the  brick  building,  two  stories  high  and  twenty  by 
thirty-six  feet  in  size,  and  known  as  the  store-rooms,  was 
erected,  and  the  capacity  of  the  water-works  increased  so  as  to 
give  partial  fire  protection. 

In  1882  the  north  extension,  for  the  use  of  the  principal  and 
his  family,  was  added,  and  in  this  year  the  department  for 
negro  deaf-mutes  was  opened  in  a  building  of  brick  sixty  by 
eighty  feet  in  dimensions  and  two  stories  high,  purchased  for 
the  purpose,  and  located  about  two  hundred  and  fifty  yards 
from  the  main  or  dormitory  building  for  the  whites.  F.  M. 
Gordon  and  W.  A.  Caldwell  are  the  teachers,  and  Mrs.  Lucinda 
Gordon  matron — all  colored  people.  In  Georgia  the  State 
laws  require  separate  schools  for  negro  and  white  children. 

In  1885  the  school -building  was  begun,  which  was  finished 
and  occupied  in  1889.  This  building  is  a  handsome  and  sub. 
stantial  structure,  and  well  adapted  for  the  uses  for  which  it 
was  designed. 

The  roof  on  the  dormitory  was  replaced  in  1887-1888  by  a 
handsome  one  of  the  mansard  pattern,  by  which  were  secured, 
not  only  about  twenty-five  comfortable  rooms,  but  a  marked 
improvement  in  the  appearance  of  the  building. 

The  engine-house  and  laundry  was  added  in  1890,  and  well 
equipped  with  engine  and  boiler,  all  necessary  laundry  ma- 
chinery, and  a  five-hundred-gallon  steam-pump  ;  six-inch  water 
mains  laid,  with  ten  Ludlow  fire-plugs  conveniently  located  ; 
hose-carriage  with  seven  hundred  feet  of  fire  dejjartment  hose 
purchased,  and  four  steel  stair  fire-escapes  erected  to  the  dif- 
ferent buildings  where  needed,  and  this  brings  the  history  of 
the  school  to  the  year  1893. 

In  all  these  years  the  attendance  has  gradually  increased,  of 
its  own  accord,  as  no  special  efforts  were  made  to  secure  an 
attendance  of  a  larger  number,  for  the  reason  that  until  within 
the  past  year  the  dormitory  was  crowded  to  its  fullest  extent.

them,  notably  in  the  departments  of  manual  and  technical 
training. 

The  combined  method  of  instruction  is  used — that  is,  speech 
and  lip-reading  are  taught  to  those  to  whom  they  can  be  made 
of  practical  use  in  their  intercourse  with  their  fellow-men,  and

who  are  taught  by  seven  teachers.

SOUTH  CAROLINA  INSTITUTION 


KOK    THE 


Education  of  the  Deaf  and  the  Blind, 


This  Institution  \vh,«  established,  at  its  present  location,  Cedar 
Spring,  Sjmrtanliurg  county,  S.  C,  by  Rev.  Newton  Pinckney 
Walker,  in  184U.  On  the  22d  of  January  of  that  year  Mr. 
Walker  admitted  a  (dass  of  tive  deaf  children  into  his  school 
for  speaking  and  hearing  children.  By  the  end  of  the  year 
three  additional  pupils  had  joined  this  class  and  Mr.  Walker 
decided  to  devote  his  entire  time  to  the  education  of  the  deaf. 
He  had  si)ent  a  few  months  during  the  year  1848  at  the  Cave 
Spring  (Georgia)  S(diool  for  the  Deaf,  preparing  himself  for  this 
special  work.  Dr.  d.  H.  Johnson,  the  present  Principal  of  the 
.Alabama  Institution  for  the  Deaf,  informed  the  writer  recently 
that  he  was  teaching  at  the  Cave  Spring  School  in  1848  and 
gave  Mr.  Walker  his  first  lesson  in  the  use  of  the  Manual 
alj^habet. 

The  names (^f  (he  live  ])upils  first  admitted  are  as  follows  : 

■lohn  M.  Hughston,  E.  Jane  Hugliston, 

E.  Melton  Hughston,  Irene  A.  Cooper, 

Harvey  W.  Bennett. 

All  (if  the  above  were  residents  of  Spartanburg  county,  in 
which  the  Institution  is  located. 

The  founder  of  the  school  was  born  in  said  countv  on  the 
2Uth  of  November,  181(J. 

In  the  first  printed  report  of  the  Institution  (1854)  Mr. 
Walker  say«:  "  Little  did  I  think,  a  few  years  ago,  that  I  would 
I'ver  be  as  I  now  tiiid  myself — surrounded  by  mi;tiplied  cares  of 


Sdiilh    ('Knillna   Iiistifnflon   fur  f he 


so  peculiar  a  chiiractei':  cliildreri  whose  c(^i}ilition  in  lif'f  (riv,.. 
point  to  tlic  sacredness  of  the  trust;  when  indeed,  at  lirst,  I 
aspired  to  nothing  higher  in  this  sphere  ot  action  tluui  tin 
amelioration  of  the  intelleetual  condition  of  a  few  deaf-nuitc 
relatives  of  my  wife."  Fn  the  same  report  he  says  :  "From  these 
statements  it  would  appeal'  that,  as  the  inslitution  is  now  hein<' 
conducted,  it  might  continue  ')  dispense  its  blessini^s,  thouuh 
ill  an  humble  manner,  without  distui'haiu'c.  And  were  1  to 
consult  nothing  except  my  own  interest  in  a  pecuniary  point  of 
view,  or  self-composure  in  the  uninterrupteil  possession  of  this 
property—a  something  which  'nature  calls  its  own,'   \  miuht

never  ask  for  any  change,  feeling  that  T  am  sufliciently  cctmpeij- 
sated  to  raise  :!iiy  family  as  my  neighbors  are  doing.  *  *  But 
over  all  this,  T  subuiit  for  your  consideration,  and  of  citizens 
of  the  State  generalls',  that  private  property,  being  subject 
to  forego  material  (duinges,  is  always  unsafe  for  public  pur 
poses.  And  though  content  in  my  humble  .sjdiere,  trying  in 
nuuuige  my  business  as  a  unit,  in  an  individual,  independenl 
manner,  yet  I  am  willing  to  ac(juiesce  in  any  (diange  in  the 
matter  whicli  might  be  dictated  by  candid  deliberation.  My 
great  desire  is  that  the  Institution,  in  some  form,  be  perpetu- 


)lood

iited  ill  all  time,  in  such  a  manner  as  tu  retlect  honor  aocordiug 
to  that  form,  whether  individual  or  State  protection  be  thrown 
around  it." 

In  April,  1855,  a  tlepartment  for  the  Blind  was  added,  with 
Professor  James  S,  Henuerson,  a.  graduate  of  the  Tennesnee 
■Sciiool  for  the  Blind,  as  principal  teacher. 

In  1857  the  sehoul  was  changed  from  an  individual  enterprise 
to  a  State  institution,  and  the  Legislature  made  a  liberal  appro- 
priation for  the  erection  of  suitable  buildings. 

The  death  of  the  Principal,  Rev.  N.  P.  Walker,  occurred  No- 
vember 13, 1861 .  in  the  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Commis- 
sioners to  the  Legislature,  after  the  death  of  the  Principal,  they 
say:  "  In  the  last  report  of  our  predecessors,  your  body  was  also 
advised  of  the  death  of  the  Prin(n})al,  N.  P.  Walker,  which 
occurred  previous  to  the  report,  but  aftei-  the  expiration  of  the 
tiscal  year.  W^e  have  not  supplied  his  place  by  the  appoint- 
ment of  another.  This  we  could  not  have  done  if  we  had 
lieemed  it  advisable,  because  of  the  appropriation  for  the  sup- 
port of  the  Institution  l:)eing  less  than  it  had  been  for  the  two 
[ireceding  years.  We  are  satisfied,  however,  that  no  change  in 
rlie  management  or  government  of  the  Institution  is  desirable. 
*  *  The  Professors  and  their  Assistants  are  connected  by 
blood  or  marriage ;  the  utmost  harmony  prevails,  and  each 
appears  desirous  of  advancing  the  interest  of  the  Institution  ; 
and  the  introduction  of  a  stranger  as  Superintendent  and  gov- 
ernor would  probably  cause  dissatisfaction  and  destroy  that 
harmony  which  is  necessary  to  success.  The  only  change  made 
in  the  employees  is  the  appointment  of  a  Steward,  who  is  the 
son  of  the  late  Superintendent.  We  therefore,  at  present,  pro- 
[»ose  no  further  change,  and  have  directed  the  Institution  to  be 
conducted  in  the  same  manner  as  the  last  year."  The  school 
was  carried  on  in  this  way,  without  the  appointment  of  a  Super- 
intendent, from  November,  ISfil,  to  April,  1865,  at  which  time, 
on  account  of  the  unsettled  condition  of  the  countrj'  and  of  the 
linances  of  the  State — the  Civil  War  having  just  ended — it 
became  necessary  to  close  its  doors  and  to  send  the  pupils  to 
tiieir  homes. 

Xo  statement  of  the  origin  of  the  school,  with  its  successes 
and  its  difficulties,  would  be  complete  without  mentioning  that 
in  all  things  the  founder  had  a  faithful  co-worker  in  his  wife, 
Mrs.  Martha  L.  Walker,  who,  by  her  personal  labor  and  con- 
stant words  of  cheer  and  encouragement  made  success  possible

She  still   lives  (LVhriian,  IHIC-;,)  ,hi„I  .leji^rhts  in  the  rontJniiH.i 
succeaa  and  growth  of  the  .school. 

In  October,  1866,  J.  S.  Henderson  and  N.  F.  W,i]l<er  ue,v 
appointed  Associate  Principals,  and  the  Institution  was  re- 
opened; hut  after  one  session  was  again  closed  on  account,,! 
the  continued  unsettled  condition  of  the  State  's  finances. 

In  September,  18()U,  the  school  was  again  reopened,  with  .1 
M.  Hughston,  a  graduate  of  the  Institution,  as  Superintendent 
ill   1872  Mr.  Hughston  resigned  and  the  present  Suj,erinten,i- 
ent,  N.  K.  Walke-   .■'>'^  anpoin^dd.     During  the  school-year  of 
1872-73,  by   th.    ■'  on  of  the  Board  of  CommlssioMers,  a 

building,  on  a  lot  ..  ming  the  Institution,  was  fitted  up  for 
the  opening  of  a  department  for  colored  pupils  On  (he  17tli 
of  September,  1873,  the  following  instructions  from  the  Board 
of  Commissioners  were  placed  in  the  hands  of  Sunerintendcnl 
Walker: 

"  First.  Colored  pupils  must  not  only  be  admitted  into  the 
Institution  on  application,  but  an  earnest  and  faithful  effort 
must  be  made  to  induce  such  pupils  fo  apply  for  admission. 

"Second'.  Such  pupils,  when  admitted,  must  be  domiciled  in 
the  same  building,  must  eat  at  the  same  table,  and  be  taught  in 
the  same  class-rooms  and  by  the  same  teachers,  and  must  re- 
ceive the  .same  attention,  care,  and  consideration  as  white 
pupils." 

On  the  reception  of  the  above  order  the  Superintendent  and 
all  other  officers  and  teachers  sent  in  their  resignations.  An 
effort  was  made  to  secure  a  Superintendent  and  teachers  who 
would  accept  and  be  governed  by  the  above  instructions,  but  it 
failed.  The  school,  on  account  of  above  order,  was  closed 
from  September,  1873,  to  Septendjer,  LS7H.  It  is  proper  that 
it  should  be  stated  that  the  same  political  party  which  was  in 
power  and  issued  the  above  instructions  directed  the  reopening 
early  in  the  year  1876,  on  the  basis  of  the  original  arrange""- 
ment,  viz.:  the  estalilishment  of  separate  departments  for 
white  and  colored  pupils.  Superintendent  Walker  and  most 
of  his  corps  of  teachers  were  reap])ointeil.  The  progress  of 
the  school  has  been  uninterrupted  since  its  reorganization  in 
1876. 

The  Department  for  colored  pupils  was  opened  in  1883. 

South  Carolina  took  her  first  step  in  the  matter  of  educating 
hei'  deaf  children  in  1882,  or  at  least  sent  her  first  pupils  to 
the  Hartforil   (Connecticut)  School    during   that    vear.      From

Cedar  Spring  was  known  prior  to  the  Revolutionary  war  as

School  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb. 


I'ntil  ii  I'ew  years  aj^o  there  stood  near  the  outskirts 
of  Fulton  a  dilapidated  frame  building,  in  which  had  been 
begun  the  work  of  educating  the  deaf  of  Missouri.  In  con- 
trast to  this  edifice,  scarcely  a  mile  away,  stand  the  magnifi- 
cent buildings  where  the  work  is  being  vigorously  })rosecuted. 
This  growth  all  took  place  within  the  life  time  of  one  man, 
who  lived  to  see  his  work  apparently  destroyed  but  to 
reappear  like  the  fabled  bird  of  antiquity  in  a  more  enduring 
and  symmetrical  form.  The  school  came  into  existence  in 
1851,  under  the  [)rovisi()ns  of  an  act,  approved  o,\  February 
liSth,  by  which  40  acres  of  land  with  the  buildings  thereon 
were  transferred  from  the  Asylum  for  the  Insane  to  the 
Asylum  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb. 

The  founder  of  the  school  was  a  young  man  teaching  in 
the  Kentucky  School  for  the  Deaf,  at  Danville.  One 
evening,  after  his  day's  work,  he  chanced  to  glance  at  a  map 
i»f.  tl>e  Western  Slates,  and  his  thoughts  dwelt  on  the  many 
oldildren  nf  silence  in  Missouri,  growing  up  in  ignorance, 
unprovided  und  uncared  for.  Thi-  impulse  came  to  him  to 
write  to  two  of  his  friends.  Rev.  \V.  \V .  Robertson  and  Mr. 
Preston  B.  Reed,  to  influence  them  in  behalf  of  the  deaf 
of  their    State.     These    gentlemen   resided   in    Fulton,    and 


S("1I()()I.  l'()l{  TllK 


unt!,  Mr.  Iloc'd,  was  <i  inciiihcr  of  the  liCffishiUirt',  althougli 
Mr.  Kerr  was  not  awuro  of  it  at  the  time.  Their  sympathies 
were  actively  enlisted  and  mainly  through  their  represen- 
tations the  act  was  passed  to  estahlish  the  school.  In 
looking  around  for  one  to  guide  liie  destinies  of  the  newly 
.started  enterprise,  the  thoughts  of  the  projectors  reverted 
to  their  friend  in  Kentucky,  whosi'  earnest  words  had 
inHuenced  their  cause  of  action,  and  tiiey  offered  him  the 
place.  He  hesitated  long,  hut  finally  accepted  and  prepared 
to  bid  adieu  to  tlii'  scenes  of  his  early  manhood  where  he 
had  spent  twenty  years  in  teaching  the  deaf.  .Just  as  he 
was  about  to  start  for  Cincinnati,  he  was  detained  by  the 
illness  of  his  little  son.  This  proved  a  fortunate  circum- 
stance, as  the  boat  on  whi(,'h  lie  had  engaged  passage  to  St. 
liOuis  was  wrecked  and  many  passengers  lost  their  lives. 
In  due  time  he  reached  Fulton  with  his  family  and  »et 
about  carrying  on  his  work  in  the  new  held.  The 
preparations  were  completed  during  the  summer,  antl  on 
the  tifth  day  of  November.  1S.")1,  the  school  was  formally 
opened  with  one  pupil  from  St.  Louis.  This  was  a  little 
Hebrew  boy.  named  John  Isaacs. 

At  first  the  growtii  of  attendance  was  slow,  but  by  the 
end  of  the  tirst  session  in  .July.  ISo^,  an  enrollment  of 
seventeen  was  recorded.  This  nutnl)er  was  autrmented 
during  the  second  yeai'  to  lifty-four.  The  nund)er  of  pupils 
soon  proved  toi)  much  for  the  capacity  of  the  original  farm 
tiuilding  and  in  isri4,  a  tract  of  eighteen  acres  was  purchased 
a  quarter  of  a  mile  northwest  of  the  original  site,  and  a 
commodious  building  was  erected  thereon  at  a  cost  of 
?J'28,000.  This  building  was  dedicated  by  the  Rev.  N.  L. 
Rice,  a  noted  divine  of  the  day,  and  the  father  of  Mrs.  K.  M. 
U.  Taylor,  the  present  instructor  of  the  art  department. 
These  c^uarters  proved  adequate  to  the  needs  of  the  school 
for  over    a    decade.     Duiing   the    civil    war.    the    work    was

UKAK  AND  DUMB. 


HU8poii(lcM|,     Supt.  Korr  retired  to  a  t'anu  in  Audrain  County, 
about  20  miles  north  of  Fulton.     He  took  with  him  several 
of  his  pupils  who  had  Jio  homes  and  there  continued  their 
education.     The  Federal  authorities  made  use  of  the  estab- 
lishment as  a  barracks  and  military  prison.     On   April  'if), 
1863,  the  lioard  of  Commissioners  formally  took  possession 
of    the   grounds    and  buildings   and   reopened    the    school. 
Supt.  Kerr  was  induced  to  take  charge  of  its  affairs,  which 
control  he  only  relinquished  at  the  behests  of  advanced  age. 
The  Superintendent  also  acted  as  steward  besides  performing 
his  duties  in  the  school  room.     The  growth  of  the  school 
and  the  corresponding  increase  in  its  accounts  influenced  the 
Board   of  Commissioners  to  ask  for   a  steward  to   attend  to 
the    subsistence    department    and  thus   allow   the    Superin- 
tendent to  devote  more  time  to  the  educational  department. 
In  their  report  for   1857-58,  the   Board   of    Commissioners 
had  asked  for  authority  to  appoint  a  steward  to  relieve  the 
Superintendent    of    (he    financial    management.     This    was 
granted,  but  after  the  reopening  of  the  school  in  1863,  the 
Superintendent  again  was  required  to  perform  the  duties  of 
steward,   which    soon   grew   too   onerous.     Accordingly  Mr. 
James  K.  Sheley  was  appointed  in  1873  as  steward,  and  Mrs, 
Kate    B.    Sheley    as    matron.     Mrs.    Susan  M.    Kerr,    after 
assisting  her   husband  for  21  years  as  matron,  resigned  in 

1872,  CO  be  succeeded  by  Miss  C.  C.  McNair,  who  retired  in 

1873.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Sheley  filled  their  positipns  faithfully 
and  acceptably  until  1889,  whei>  Mr.  Sheley  was  forced  by 
failing  health  to  retire.'  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  W.  Overton  were 
elected  to  fill  the  vacancies.  In  June,  1891,  Mr.  J.  E. 
Watson  and  Mrs.  Mary  Gathright  were  elected  steward  and 
matron,  and  have  held  the  positions  since. 

Mr.  Kerr  continued  to  manage  the  affairs  of  the  insti- 
tution so  well,  that  in  1872  a  new  three-story  school  house 
had  to  be  built  to  accommodate  the  increased  attendance.

for  dormitory  and  hoHpital  n-c  On  the  ni^lit  of  February 
27,  18!SS,  while  the  })U]>ilH  were  aHsemblt-d  for  study,  a  tire 
was  discovered  in  the  tower  of  the  centre  l)uilding.  Every 
tiling  possible  was  done  to  ciieck  tiie  flames,  but  as  there 
was  no  lire  engine,  although  an  abundant  «iuantity  of  water 
was  onlv  a  short  distance  awav,  the  fire  continued  to  spread. 
A  strong  breeze  from  tiu;  southeast  aided  in  the  work  of 
demolition,  and  only  the  school  liouse  was  saved.  Tin; 
citizens  of  Fulton  rendercMl  valuabli-  assistance  in  sjiving  the 
cflothing  and  household  goods  ol'  the  institution.  They  also 
generously  took  care  of  the  children  until  the  Hoard  was 
able  to  make  temporary  arrangements  for  their  care.  The 
large  brick  shojjs,  which  had  just  l)een  completed,  \ver(i 
cleared  out  and  fitted  up  as  dormitories  for  the  girls.  The 
boys  were  lodged  in  the  two-story  brick  building  wliieh  had 
been  used  as  the  printing-oHice  ami  shoe-shop.  With  the 
funds  for  enlarging  the  l)arn,  the  Hoard  erected  a  temporary 
dining-hall  of  pine  boar<ling.  This  was  afterwards  used  as  a 
temporary  carpenter-shoj>.  In  a  week  after  the  tire,  the 
school  duties  were  resumed.  Two  theories  have  been 
advanced  to  account  for  the  origin  of  the  fire.  One  was 
that  it  resulted  from  a  defective  tlue  i'\  the  c(>ntre  building; 
the  other  that  it  was  causeil  by  the  defective  insulation 
of  the  electric  wires.  The  latter  is  probably  the  correct 
theory. 

Only  a  few  months  before;  the  Mre  the  Hoard  had  in- 
creased the  insu»'ance  on  the  main  buildings  to  SOo^OOO.  The 
companies  intervSted  promptly  met  their  obligations,  and  iti 
consideration  of  an  early  settlement,  a  small  discount  was 
deducted.  With  the  SlJ4,r)0()  of  insurance  money  and 
811,630  of  balances  from  other  funds,  the  Board  jjroeeeded 
to  rebuild.     The  east   wing  was  erected  under  the  direction

was  confined  to  makinj;  them  tenantable,  further  appropri- 
ation**  Itein^'  expected  to  thiinh  the  interior.  The  General 
AHHenihly  of  IMS*)  appropriated  8;{(),(KH)  to  complete  these 
buildings.  For  the  construction  of  a  dining  room  extension, 
with  study  room  and  kitchen,  an  apjiropriation  of  i?2(),(XK) 
was  made.  To  provide  a  new  school  building,  )!|;iU,(H)0  was 
granted.  Thcst;  buildings  now  furnish  sulHcient  accom- 
modations for  .'52o  pujiils. 

The  intirmitics  of  advanced  age  had  begun  to  press 
heavily  on  the  veneraldc  Superintendent.  Along  with  his 
seventeenth  and  last  biennial  report  to  the  Board  of  Commis- 
sioners, he  presented  his  resignation.  On  the  28th  of  Feb. 
ruary,  ISSD,  he  laid  aside  the  harness  of  an  educator  of  the 
deaf,  which  he  had  worn  continuously  for  fifty-eight  years. 
His  health  had  been  feeble  for  some  time,  and  his  friends 
feared  that  the  sudden  release  from  the  cares  of  the  institu- 
tion would  be  fatal.  Their  fears  seemed  unfounded  for  three 
months,  but  on  the  morning  of  the  24th  of  May,— scarcely 
three  months  later — he  sank  to  his  eternal  rest.  No  man 
stood  higher  in  the  regard  of  the  community  than  Dr.  Kerr, 
as  the  vast  concourse  at  his  funeral  testified.  His  body 
was  borne  to  its  last  resting  place  by  the  male  teachers, 
and  laid  by  the  side  of  his  wife  and  sons  who  had  preceeded 
him.  Only  two  weeks  before  his  death,  the  faculty  of  the 
National  Deaf-Mute  College,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  had 
conferred  upon  him  the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Humane  Letters,  in  consideration  of  his  distinguished  ser- 
vices in  the  cause  of  deaf-mute  education. 

The  mantle  of  Dr.  Kerr  fell  to   hid   assistant   superin- 
tendent,   who    was  elected    in   .Tune,    1881>,  to  the  superin-

MKTnoDs  OF   INSTHICTJON'. 


The  methods  pursue(l  in  instructing  the  deal  are  the 
same  as  those  in  a  majority  of  the  schools  for  the  deaf  in  the 
I'nited  States.  Although  Mr.  Kerr  was  a  firm  believer  in 
the  sign  languagi-  as  a  means  of  instruction,  yet  he  perceived 
early  that  a  jiart  (•!  the  pupils  would  be  benelited  by  artic- 
ulation, and  advocated  its  introduction.  In  the  rei)ort  of 
18()7-(*))S,  he  asked  tor  the  employment  (tf  a  teaclu'r  of  articul- 
ation. After  repeale(l  solicition.  the  Board  of  (.'ommissioners 
were  granted  iUv  desired  authority,  and  in  IS?;!  Miss  Mary 
('.  McClelland,  now  Mrs.  .Mary  M.  Tate,  was  transferred 
from  the  sign  departnu'iit  to  take  charge  of  the  new  venture. 
Under  her  able  care  the  experiment  ])roved  very  successful, 
and  in  18S1  Miss  Eliza  M.  lU  ed  was  also  transferred  to  this 
department,  nu  account  of  tiie  growth  of  the  class  in  artic- 
ulation. In  ISSS  it  was  decided  to  try  the  experiment  of 
teaching  pupils  by  the  oral  metho<l.  The  result  has  proved 
satisfactory,  though  the  nund)er  of  pupils  in  a  class  must  be 
limited.     At    pres"nt    sixty    pupils     receive    instruction    in

classes  signs    are    almost  entirely  discarded  and  recitations 
are  conducted  by  finger  spelling  and  writing. 

A  brief  sketch  of  the  process  pursued  in  beginning  the 
education  of  a  deaf  and  dumb  child  by   means   of  the  sign 
language    would    not    be  out  of  place  here.     No  just  com- 
parison can  be  made  between  the  work  of  a  teacher  of  the 
deaf  and  that   of  a  public    school   teacher.     The   one   gives 
individual  instruction  to  his  class;    the  other  addresses  them 
in   the   aggregate.     Morever,    the  hearing  child   acquires   at 
home  a  vocabulary,  of  which  his  teacher  avails  himself,  but 
a   deaf  child    very  seldom  has  such  a  previous  instruction. 
He  comes  to  school  with  his  mind  a  total  blank.     He  does 
not  know  the  names  of  even  the  simplest  actions  and  house- 
hold objects,     The  child  is  taught  to  form  the  letters  of  the 
alphabet  on  his  lingers  and  to  write  them.     Then  the  picture 
of  some  familiar  object,  as  that  of  a  dog,  is  shown  him.     The 
name  of  the  object  is  written  out,  and  he  is  taught  to  spell  it 
on  his  Angers  and  to  copy  it  on  his  slate.     Then  more  names 
are   learned,  and   in  a  similar  way    he  learns  the  names  of 
visible  actions.     One  of  the  class  is  directed  to  walk.     The 
name  of  the  action   is  taught  and   its  connection  Avith   the 
action    is  impressed    on   his   mind.     Hnving  mastered   the 
names  of  several  objects  and  actions,  he  is  instructed  how  to 
form   them  into   simple   sentences.     I'sually  after   a  year's 
instruction  a  pupil  knows  the  names  of  from  twenty-five  to 
fifty  objects  and  of  most  of  the  visible  actions.     With  a  good 
start,  the  child  increases   the   store   of  his   knowledge   and 
finishes  his   course  in  the    school    with  the   history   of  his 
country  and  of  the  world  and  practical  arithmetic.     In  artic- 
ulation  the  semi-mute  is  instructed  on  the  right   pronunci- 
ation ot  words,  and  to  read  the  motions  of  the  lips.     Oral 
teaching  is  by   a   kind   of  sign   language — substituting    the 
motions  of  the  lips  for  the  gestures  of  t.ie  hands.

TIMK  OK  INSTHICTION. 

By  the  provisioriH  of  the  act  establishing  the  school, 
pupils  were  allowed  the  benefits  of  the  institution  for  three 
years.  This  was  increased  in  1855  to  five  years,  and  again 
in  1857  to  seven  years.  Subsequently  the  benefits  of  the 
school  were  granted  for  ten  years,  but  this  period  was 
reduced  in  1877  to  eight  years.  This  law  continued  in 
force  until  1881)  when  the  time  was  extended  to  ten  years. 
This  can  hardly  be  considered  too  long  whon  hearing 
children,  .vith  all  their  faculties,  are  instructed  from  twelve 
to  sixteen  years.  Tiie  fact  that  the  deaf  have  to  surmount 
greater  obstacles  than  the  hearing  in  acquiring  an  education 
ought  to  secure  them  a  longer  period  of  instruction  than  the 
hearing.  This  proves  sufficient  in  most  cases  to  give  the 
deaf  a  practical  knowledge  of  the  English  language  and 
mathematics. 

The  ages  of  seven  and  thirty  were  fixed  upon  as  the  ex- 
tremes between  which  pupils  could  be  admitted.  This  was 
on  account  of  the  large  number  of  deaf  children  who  had 
grown  up  to  maturity  without  the  benefits  of  education. 
Many  of  the  earlier  pupils  were  from  18  to  25  years  of  age  at 
the  time  of  their  admission.  .\s  the  school  became  better 
known,  younger  pupils  came  in  and  it  was  rare  to  admit  any 
at  25  years  of  age.  During  the  period  of  retrenchment  and 
reform,  induced  by  the  depression  in  value  of  property  in 
1877,  the  limits  were  fixed  at  nine  and  twenty-one.  At 
the  revisi(m  of  the  statues  in  1889,  they  were  changed  to 
eight  and  twenty-one.  Once  in  a  while,  a  child  is  brought 
who  has  passed  the  limit,  but  these  cases  are  happily 
becoming  rarer. 

In  the  early  days  of  the  school  it  was  a  difficult  matter 
to  induce  parents  to  send  their  children  to  be  educated. 
This  was  due  to  a  mistaken  impression  that  they  could  not 


18 


SCHOOL  FOR  THE 


be  benefited.  Some  were  influonced  by  ji  niiH])laced  affec- 
tion, others  by  p.'irBimoiiy  ?.nd  many  by  timidity.  Tu 
remove  those  obstacles  it  was  the  practice  of  the  Superin- 
tendent or  one  of  the  teachers  to  give  exhibitions  with  one 
or  two  pupils  during  the  summer  vacation.  These  exhibi- 
tions were  usually  given  in  the  large  cities  and  other 
localities  where  deaf  children  were  known  to  exist.  They 
contributed  much  to  overcome  the  prejudices,  fears  and 
morbid  affections  of  parents.  But  this  plan  entailed  a  con- 
siderable ^.  ^ense  which  was  beyond  the  means  of  the 
Superintendent  or  teacher  to  continue  several  years  in  suc- 
cession, and  it  was  soon  abandoned. 

Assessors  of  taxoj  in  the  counties  were  rec^uired  to 
return  the  number  of  deaf  children  in  their  districts,  but 
this  requirement  was  very  imperfectly  observed.  Reports  of 
the  school  were  sent  to  those  having  the  care  of  deaf 
children,  and  proved  fairly  fruitful  of  results.  Within  the 
decade  circulars  setting  forth  the  benefits  of  the  institution 
have  been  mailed.  The  names  and  addresses  of  the  parents 
of  deaf  children  were  obtained  from  the  Census  Bureau,  and 
they  were  induced  by  circulars  to  send  their  children  to  the 
school.  The  benefits  of  this  school  were  free  only  to 
indigent  children,  parents  were  oblige-  to  go  before  the 
courts  and  establish  their  inability  to  pay  for  their  child's 
education.  This  requirement  was  rescinded  in  1871,  since 
which  time  the  benefits  have  been  free  to  all  deaf  children  of 
proper  school  age. 

In  the  fall  of  1892,  the  school  session  was  begun  with  a 
division  of  the  classes  into  primary,  grammar,  and  academic 
grades.  There  are  seven  primary  classes,  and  three  gram- 
mar and  academic  classes.  In  the  primary  and  grammar 
grade,  the  teacher  has  charge  of  his  class  all  the  time.  In 
the  academic  grade  the  classes  rotate  among  three  teachers, 
each  instructing  them  in  a  particular  branch    of  study.     In

The  preceding  course  of  Htudy  combines  the  excellent 
features  of  former  ones.  These  had  been  found  serviceable 
in  preparing  the  deaf  for  future  usefulness.  Tlie  school 
may  well  be  proud  of  the  record  its  graduates  liave  made. 
One  made  some  reputation  as  a  writer  of  verse ;  another  has 
become  the  leadhig  chemist  of  a  large  Chicago  smelting 
company,  several  have  become  teacliers  in  their  Alma  mater; 
one  has  become  the  foreman  of  the  cabinet  shop  of  the 
Louisana  School  ;  the  rc^st  are  scattered  over  the  State, 
earning  comfortable  livings  at  their  occupations  the  rudi- 
ments of  which  they  learned  at  the  school. 


PRESENT  SCIIEDrLE. 

The  school  formerly  hnd  two  sessions  a  day.  The 
morning  session  was  devoteil  to  the  school  room  work  ;  the 
afternoon  session  was  given  to  manual  training.  For  a  long 
time  this  system  worked  satisfactorily,  but  liually  the  num- 


DEAF  AND  DUMB.  23 

her  of  pupils  severely  taxed  the  facilities  of  the  industrial 
departments.  Accordingly,  in  1890,  the  present  schedule 
was  adopted.  It  provides  for  three  sessions  of  2J  hours 
each.  The  classes  of  the  school  are  grouped  in  three  sec- 
tions, as  nearly  equal  in  number  as  possible.  Two  sections 
are  in  school  while  one  section  is  in  the  manual  training 
department.  These  sections  rotate  monthly.  Each  section 
has  live  liours  of  school  work  and  2.V  hours  of  industrial 
training.  The  sections  are  designated  A,  B,  and  C,  res- 
pectively. In  September  A  is  in  school  from  8  o'clock  to 
10  :  20,  and  ag;..in  from  10  :  80  to  12  :  50.  From  2  :  00  to 
4  :  30  it  is  in  the  shops.  13  is  in  school  from  8  :  00  to  10  :  20 
and  from  2  :  00  to  4  :  150;  in  shops  from  10  :  30  to  12  :  50.  C 
begins  the  day  in  the  shops  from  8  :  00  to  10  :  20  ;  its  school 
work  is  done  from  10  :  30  to  12  :  50  and  from  2  :  00  to  4  :  30. 
During  the  next  month  A  takes  the  place  of  B,  and  B  that  of 
C,  and  C  moves  to  the  place  of  A,  and  so  on.  The  advantages 
of  this  plan  are  two-fold  :  more  time  can  be  devoted  by  the 
instructors  in  the  industries  to  individuals  in  classes,  because 
fewer  come  in  sections,  than  when  all  come  at  once;  and 
time  passes  more  quickly  and  agreeably  for  pupils  and 
teachers.  The  appended  schedule  makes  further  explanation 
unnecessary.

The  value  of  manual  training  for  our  youth  is  acknowl- 
edged by  educators.  Manual  sehoolH  liavo  sprung  up  in  all 
parts  of  the  country  to  train  the  hearing  youth  in  the  us(^  of 
their  hands.  Sucli  a  training  is  a  greater  necessity  of  the 
deaf  than  of  the  hearing,  as  the  former  is  debarred  bv  his

SCHOOL  FOR  THE 


deafness  from  otherwise  acquiring  a  trade  in  this  hurly-burly 
scramble  for  existence.  Few  employers  have  the  inclination 
to  take  deaf  apprentices  or  the  time  to  teach  them.  Hence 
the  deaf  should  acquire  an  industrial  education  at  the  same 
time  they  hre  acquiring  other  knowledge.  This  view  early 
impressed  the  educators  of  the  deaf  and  they  make  provis- 
ions therefor.  Superintendent  Kerr  was  i.iipressed  with 
the  utility  of  such  an  education,  and  made  repeated  requests 
for  appropriations  for  instituting  a  course  in  manual  training. 

The  Legislature  of  1SG6  made  an  appropriation  of 
$3,000  for  the  erection  and  furnishing  of  shop  buildings. 
The  amount  proved  insufficient  for  the  purpose.  Nothing 
further  was  done  until  18()5>  when  the  Board  appointed  an 
excellent  carpenter,  who  had  been  employed  on  the  school 
building,  to  superintend  the  repairing  around  the  institution. 
He  was  assisted  by  a  number  of  the  larger  boys.  The 
management  icquested  permission  to  make  his  employment 
permanent,  but  this  application  was  not  successful.  They 
employed  a  deaf-mute  in  1.S74  to  give  instruction  in  shoe- 
making  to  a  few  of  the  boys.  This  experiment  proved 
highly  successful,  and  in  ISTo  the  Legislature  granted  au- 
thority to  make  the  venture  a  permanent  feature.  Mr. 
George  McCauley  was  appointed  the  next  year,  and  has 
continued  in  his  position  since.  The  success  of  this  depart- 
ment was  followed  by  the  establishment  of  a  carpenter-shop 
with  Mr.  M.  F.  Bell,  as  forem.'m,  in  l.S7().  He  continued  in 
his  position  until  18S8,  when  he  resigned  to  devote  his  atten- 
tion to  his  business  as  architect.  The  gentleman  has  since 
made  a  name  in  his  chosen  profession,  and  a  score  of  private 
and  public  educational  buildings  testify  to  his  skill.  The 
present  instructor  in  carpentry,  Mr.  William  H.  Hurai)hreys, 
succeeded  Mr.  Bell,  and  has  proven  very  efficient. 

The   printer's  trade   is    on(!   peculiarly    adapted   to   the 
semi-mutes  who  have  a  taste  for  language.     As  no  provision 


DEAF  AND  DUMB. 


27 


was  made  for  teaching  this  industry,  several  boys  were 
permitted  to  go  to  the  town  newspaper  otHces  to  acquire  the 
trade.  In  1871)  a  printing  olhcc  was  started  with  Prof. 
Henry  C  I^nglisli  ns  instructor.  Prof.  English  issued  a 
four-column  folio,  semi-monthly,  called  The  Missouri  Deaf- 
Mnte  Record.  This  was  soon  changed  to  a  weekly,  and  the 
editorial  work  assigned  to  another  teacher,  to  allow  the 
instructor  more  time  to  teach  the  industry.  Prof.  English 
continued  in  charge  of  the  office  until  his  death,  January 
.Sth,  1H8U.  The  editorial  work  had  been  in  charge  of  Mr. 
Chas.  M.  Grow,  Jr.,  who  temporarily  assumed  the  duties  of 
foreman  in  addition.  In  April  the  writer,  who  had  taken 
Prof.  English's  place  in  the  class  room,  was  appointed  fore- 
man, Mr.  Grow  continuing  the  editorial  work.  The  foreman 
had  been  one  of  the  original  compositors  with  whom  the 
Record  was  first  issued.  Up  to  tiiis  time  the  paper  had  been 
coming  out  as  a  four  or  eight  page  four-column  cjuarto.  In 
the  fall  of  1889  it  was  enlarged  to  a  six  column  folio.  This 
form  had  been  retained.  In  December  1891,  Mr.  Grow 
retired  from  the  editorial  management,  and  the  paper  was 
edited  by  the  publish^: .  Mr.  Gross  gave  way  last  June  to 
Mr.  Wallace  Williams,  an  old  newspaper  man  of  Fulton. 

The  adoption  of  uniforms  was  followed  by  the  establish- 
ment of  a  tailor  shop.  The  uniforms  made  by  contract  were 
not  always  well-fitting  and  did  not  prove  entirely  satisfactory 
in  material.  Mr.  Chas.  iVIerkle,  v.'ho  had  several  years' 
experience  in  teaching  tailoring  in  the  Philadelphia  School 
for  the  Deaf,  was  appointed  in  September,  1891.  This 
branch  of  industry  is  proving  very  satisfactory. 

Mr,  Louis  Kuss,  who  has  been  serving  as  baker  for  the 
s  ■loci  ■iince  1876,  has  been  teaching  five  boys  in  his  handi- 
craft. They  help  him  to  furnish  the  bread  and  rolls 
consumed  by  the  pupils.     This  is  a  good  trade  for  the  deaf-

mutfis,    and   these    arc  acquiring  a  iuo«t  excellent  means  of 
making  a  livelihood. 

The  girlH  were  taught  liouse-work  from  the  inception  of 
the  school.  This  included  revving  and  general  needle-work. 
In  1888  a  department  of  cutting  and  tilting  was  established. 
The  older  girls  are  ins^tructed  in  measuring  and  cutting  and 
fitting  tlu'ir  dresses.  The  younger  girls  are  instructed  in 
needle-work.  They  take  turns  in  attending  to  the  cleaning 
of  the  table  ware  in  the  dining-room.  All  are  required  to 
keep  their  rooms  in  a  neat  and  orderly  condition. 

An  (  xcellent  aid  in  industrial  training  has  been  the  art 
instruction  given  by  Mrs.  E.  M.  H.  Taylor.  The  students 
acquire  a  better  understanding  of  proportions  and  utilize 
their  artistic  talent  in  their  occupations.  This  is  especially 
shown  in  the'  carving  done  by  some  of  ihe  cabinet  makers. 
The  classes  in  art  go  from  the  industrial  departments,  one 
division  twice  and  the  other  three  time;!  a  week  for  40 
minutes  each. 

The  work  rooms  of  the  girls  are  on  the  first  floor  of  the 
west  transverse  wing.  The  classes  in  sewing  and  in  cutting 
and  fitting  occupy  separate  rooms,  each  47  feet  by  20  feet. 
All  the  mending  of  boys'  clothing  is  attended  to  by  the 
classes  in  sewing,  numbering  IS)  girls  at  present.  The 
classes  in  cutting  and  fitting  measure  and  make  the  uniform 
dresses  and  other  garments  of  the  girls  and  many  of  the 
uniforms  of  smaller  boys.  There  are  38  girls  in  these  classes. 
The  younger  girls  pass  from  the  sewing  to  the  cutting  and 
fitting  classes  as  soon  as  they  are  proficicit  in  needlework. 

The  industrial  training  of  the  boys,  except  the  class  in 
baking,  is  carried  on  in  the  manual  training  building.  This 
is  a  two  story  brick  building  in  the  form  of  an  L,  having 
a  length  of  110  feet  and  depth  of  100  feet.  The  carpenter 
and    shoe    shops    are    on    the    first    floor    and    the    printing

the  Htoro  and  linishing  rooiuH  of  the  cabinet  niakern. 

The  carpenter  s^hop  is  S2  x  45  feet  in  dimensions.  There 
are  20  benches  supplied  with  full  sets  of  tools.  Among  its 
eo'iipmentK  are  two  turning  lathes,  a  planer,  two  I'i-inch  rip 
saws,  two  scroll  saws,  a  mortiser,  a  freizer  and  a  moulding 
machine.  All  these  are  run  by  steam.  The  power  is  trans- 
mitted  from  the  boiler  house  by  means  of  a  7-S  inch  steel 
wire  cable,  which  also  furnishes  the  motive  power  for  the 
printing  office.  There  are  .'5(1  boys  learning  the  various 
branches  of  joinery  work.  They  make  all  the  furniture  used 
about  the  institution,  and  attend  to  the  repairing  of  the  wood 
work  and  painting.  Some  very  neat  specimens  of  carving 
have  been  made  lately.  The  boys  also  attend  to  the  varnish- 
ing and  polishing  of  the  furniture.  This  is  done  in  a  room 
20  X  24  feet,  on  the  second  floor.  A  section  of  the  second 
floor,  84  X  45  feet,  is  used  as  the  store  room  of  the  finished 
products.  The  value  of  the  work  done  in  this  industry  dur- 
ing the  years  1.S91  and  l.Si)2  was  S2, (51 7.47. 

The  shoe  shop  occupies  the  south  extension  of  24  x  90 
feet.  Twenty-six  boys  receive  instruction  in  making  and 
mending  shoes.  The  most  proficient  are  able  to  cut  and 
make  the  entire  shoe.  Four  sewing  machines  of  standard 
make  are  used.  This  shop  does  all  the  mending  of  the  foot- 
wear  of  the  jiupils,  and  furnishes  most  of  their  boots  and 
shoes.  The  aggregate  value  of  work  done  in  1S91  and  1892 
was  $2,116.50. 

Immediately  over  the  shop  shop  is  the  tailoring  room. 
Here  Mr.  Morkle  has  twenty-three  boys  under  instruction. 
They  make  the  uniforms  of  the  large  boys  and  are  busy  all 
the  time.  This  induslry  was  established  only  one  and  a 
half  years  ago,  but  has  already  done  work  to   the  value  of

sehool  and  office.     The  reports  of  the  officers  to  the   h^gis- 
lature  have  been  printed  here  for  the  last   ten  years.     The 
present  force  of  compositors  comprises  thirteen.     A  number 
of  the  former  compositors  are  now  pursuing  their  occupation 
in  country  towns    and,  in  several  instances,  having  becotne 
the  editors  or  foremen  of  papers.     During  the  last  two  years 
the  office  turned  out  work  to  the  value  of  $2,016.03.

No  one  can  think  of  a  school  of  this  kind  without  the 
idea  of  a  librarv  suggesting  itself.     The  library  of  this  insti- 
tution is  almost  as  old  as  the  school  itself.     Its  nucleus  was 
formed  in  1855,  when  Mr.  WiHiaiu  iMusgr.  ve,  then  editor  ot 
the  Le.un(ito,i   Express,   interested   his   friends   in  collecting 
books  for  the  school.     A  number  of  volumes  were  donated  by 
the   citizens  of  Lexington,   and   the  list   was    augmented   as 
the  years  passed  until  now  ther(.«  are  1181  volumes.     A  large 
well-lighted  room  in  the  rear  portion  of  the  centre  building  is 
used  as   the   library.     In   handsomely   polished   oak    cases, 
made  in  the  cabinet  shop,  are  classified  the  books.     There  are 
ten  classes  of  works-embracing  history,  biography,  poetry,

PHYHKAI,    (.IM.TUHK. 

Although  iho  ueeil  was  early  felt  of  giving  physieal 
training  to  the  pupils,  notli'  definite  was  done  in  the 
direction  until  1SS3,  whc  the  General  Assembly  granted 
$1,000.00  for  fitting  up  a  gymnasium.  This  appropriation 
was  made  at  the  instuuce  of  Senator  James  C.  McGinnis,  of 
St.  fjouis.  The  playroom  of  the  girls  was  fitted  up  with  a 
bowling  alley  and  other  gymnastic  apparatuses.  The  hase- 
ment  of  the  school  house  was  similarly  arranged  for  the  boys. 
The  beneficial  results  of  these  arrangements  were  soon 
apparent  in  the  increased  vitality  and  elasticity  of  their 
bearing.  Tlu  ilenf  as  a  class  seem  more  prone  to  pulmonary 
affections  than  other  people,  and  so  are  more  in  need  of 
systematic  physical  culture.  The  fire  of  18SS  wiped  out  the 
girls'  gymnasium,  and  in  the  confusion  following,  that  of 
the  boys  was  destroyed.  After  the  completion  of  the  main 
buildings,  it  was  deemed  best  to  have  the  gymnasium  in 
separate  quarters ;  accordingly  the  old  shop  building,  which 
had  escaped  the  Hames,  was  remodelled  and  fitted  up  with 
bowling  alley  and  other  appliances.  Here  the  girls  drill  for 
an  hour  three  times  a  week.  A  course  in  calisthenics, 
comprising  exercises  in  free  movements,  with  wands,  dumb- 
bells and  Indian  clubs,  is  imparted  by  Miss  Georgia  P'lliott.

SCHOOL  FOR  THE 


These  classes  in  calisthenics  have  taken  part  iu  the  annual 
field  day  contests,  and  have  made  very  creditable  showings. 
The  boys  have  no  regular  gymnasium,  except  what  nature 
provides  for  them.  However,  they  have  excellent  play- 
grounds which  are  extensive  enough  to  admit  of  four  games 
X)i  base-ball  being  simultaneously  played. 

SOCIETIES    OK   THE    PUPILS. 

Tlie  pupils  have  two  literary  sor-ieties  managed  by 
themselves,  with  the  assistance  and  advice  of  a  teacher. 
That  of  the  girls  was  founded  in  1890  and  comprises  the  girls 
of  the  four  upper  classes.  The  order  of  exercises  consists  of 
an  essay,  a  debate  between  four  members,  two  on  a  side, 
a  dialogue  and  a  declamation.  The  boys'  society,  named  in 
honor  of  the  founder  of  the  school,  was  established  in  the  fall 
of  1890.  Its  membership  includes  the  three  upper  classes. 
The  order  of  exercises  is  similar  to  that  of  the  girls.  Usually 
in  the  spring,  these  societies  have  a  joint  meeting  in  the 
chapel,  to  which  the  whole  school  is  invited. 

A  circle  of  King's  Daughters  was  formed  among  the  girls 
in  1890.  They  meet  once  a  month  and  give  an  interesting 
program.  Many  articles  of  fancy  work  have  been  made  and 
sold  by  the  members  and  the  proceeds  devoted  to  charity. 
The  present  circle  has  a  membership  of  thirty-five. 
Branches  of  the  Young  People's  Society  of  Christian 
Endeavor  liave  also  been  formed  among  the  older  jojs  and 
girls  and  have  influenced  them  for  the  better. 

Outside  of  the  school,  there  are  two  social  and  literary 
societies  for  the  deaf,  one  each  in  St.  Louis  and  Kansas  City. 
The  former  is  the  older,  having  been  founded  in  1880,  and 
comprises  most  of  the  adult  deaf  of  that  city.  The  Kansas 
City  society  has  been  formed  recently.  These  associations 
take  the  lead  in  the  social  doings  of  the  deaf.  Lectures  are 
given   to  their  members  and   friends   by   invited   speakers.

The  social  life  is   further  enlivened  by   balls   and   parties, 
picnics  and  other  amusements. 

RECRKATION    AND    AMUSEMENTS. 

The  saying  that  "all  work  and  no  play  makes  Jack  a 
dull  boy"  has  its  weight  with  the  management.  By  the 
schedule  already  given,  it  is  seen  that  the  pupils  are  granted 
ample  time  for  daily  recreation.  Saturday  afternoons  are 
regular  half  holidays,  and  those,  whose  deportment  during  the 
week  has  earned  it,  are  allowed  to  make  visits  to  the  town. 
For  the  special  holidays,  as  thanksgiving,  etc.,  the  teachers 
prepare  entertainments.  These  have  consisted  of  social 
parties,  puntomines,  shadow  and  open,  tableaux,  lectures 
and  stereopticon  views.  They  are  in  charge  of  a  committee 
of  three  teachers  for  each  holiday. 

In  order  to  develope  a  taste  for  reading,  the  teachers 
give  monthly  lectures  to  the  five  upper  classes.  The  subjects 
are  taken  from  among  the  standard  works  in  the  Library.  A 
brief  resume  of  the  news  of  tiie  day  as  gleaned  from  the  daily 
papers,  is  posted  in  the  two  reading-rooms.  These  rooms 
are  supplied  with  plenty  of  daily  and  weekly  papers,  and 
periodicals  from  other  schools  for  the  deaf.  For  two  years  a 
small  paper  was  issued  semi-weekly  from  tho  printing-office, 
filled  with  bits  of  news,  suitable  for  iiie  different  grades  of 
the  school.  This  was  called  The  Recorder,  and  was  edited  by 
the  teachers  who  rotated  weekly.  Morning  services  are  held 
daily  in  the  chapel,  conducted  by  the  male  teachers.  These 
lectures  precede  the  school  work  and  last  about  fifteen 
minutes.  On  Sunday  morning,  after  the  service  in  the 
chapel  led  by  the  Superintendent,  a  half  hour  is  devoted  to 
Sunday  School  work.  In  the  afternoon,  the  Superintendent 
gives  short  lectures  on  the  history  of  the  Bible.  During  the 
course  of  the  week,  the  pupils  reproduce  these  lectures  as 
compositions.

SCHOOL  FOR  THE 


ITNIFORMS. 

In  the  year  1890  a  uniform  was  devised  for  -the  boys. 
In  1891  a  uniform  was  fixed  upon  for  the  girls.  Tlie  uniform 
for  the  large  boys  consists  of  four  pieces,  viz:  coat,  trousers, 
vest  and  cap.  The  small  boys  have  knee  pants  and  no  vest. 
The  material  is  cadet  gray  twenty  ounce  stuft"  to  the  yard, 
six-fourth  yards  wide.  Three  sizes  of  buttons  arc  used,  on 
each  of  which  is  found  the  words,  "Missouri"  across  the 
center  and  "School  tor  the  Deaf  and  Dumb"  around  the 
margin.  These  suits  are  extremely  neat  and  durable,  and  in 
the  end  economical. 

Nothing  could  do  so  much  to  stimulate  our  boys  to 
preserve  their  clothes  as  the  uniform  has  done.  Their 
conduct  and  bearing  is  evidently  improved  by  this  dress. 
The  uniform  is  a  source  of  protection  to  them  from  injury, 
incident  to  passing  vehicles.  As  all  these  uniforms  are  made 
by  the  pupils  in  their  trades,  a  number  of  them  are  thus 
afforded  a  means  of  becoming  proficient  in  tailoring  and 
dress-making. 

The  uniform  for  the  girls  was  devised  at  their  earnest 
request.  They  claimed  partiality  was  shown  to  the  boys. 
The  uniform  for  the  girl.->  consists  of  dress  and  hat.  The 
dress  is  of  gray  all  wool  serge,  with  yoke  and  cuffs  of  navy 
blue  velvet,  and  standing  collar.  The  hat  is  a  blue  straw 
sailor  with  band  of  blue  gros  grained  ribbon  two  inches  wide. 
A  belt  is  used  varying  from  one  and  one-half  to  two  inches  in 
width  of  navy  blue  velvet. 


LEGISLATION. 


Many  changes  have  been  made  in  the  laws  regulating 
this  institution.  Among  the  provisions  of  the  act  establishing 
the  school  was  one  allowina  the  sum  of  $80.00  per  annum  for 
the  maintenance  of  each  indigent  pupil.     This  amount  was 


DKAF  AND  DUMB. 


35 


nub.sc(iuently  increiiHcd  to  8100.00.  All  tli«  other  pupils 
wero  ro(iuiro<l  to  piiy  for  their  support  and  tuition.  An 
indigent  fund  for  the  clothing  and  trannportation  of  indigent 
l)upil8  waH  furnished.  The  Superintendent  attended  to  the 
boarding  of  the  pupils  until  1872,  when  the  Board  of  Coniis- 
yionorH  decided  to  aKsume  entire  charge  of  the  eubsietence 
department.  A  Klevvard  waH  ai)pointed  to  attend  to  the 
accounts  and  make  the  necessary  i)urchase8.  This  system 
is  still  in  vogue.  The  indigent  fund  law  was  repealed  in  the 
revision  of  the  statutes  in  1889.  Hereafter  indigent  pupils 
can  be  clothed  and  transported  at  the  expense  of  the  county 
whence  they  come.  Upon  application  of  tlie  parent,  with 
proof  of  his  indigency,  the  probate  judge  certifies  the  fact  to 
the  county  court,  which  makes  out  the  certificate  to  the  child. 
In  1871,  the  benefits  of  the  school  were  made  free  to  rich  and 
poor  alike  and  have  remained  so  since.  This  brought  Mis- 
souri in  line  with  the  rest  of  the  States  of  the  Union. 

In  order  to  ascertain  the  number  of  the  deaf  population 
in  the  State,  assessors  of  taxes  were  required  to  make  returns 
but  this  law  proved  inoperative.  A  late  enactment  makes  it 
the  duty  of  school  enumerators  to  report  the  names,  age,  sex 
and  color  of  all  deaf  children  in  their  districts  to  the  county 
clerks,  who  arc  required  to  make  returns  to  the  superin- 
tendent of  tlu!  scliool.  This  law  has  been  but  imperfectly 
observed. 

A  measure  tending  to  hamper  the  work  of  the  school 
room  is  the  law  requiring  twenty  pupils  to  a  teacher.  In 
order  to  comply  with  this  law,  classes  have  to  be  made  up  of 
different  grades,  for  it  is  rare  to  find  twenty  pupils  capable  of 
making  the  same  degree  of  progress.  Consequently  the 
brighter  have  to  be  kept  back  for  their  duller  classmates. 
No  other  school  has  such  a  requirement.  The  graduates  of 
the  school  felt  the  injustice  of  the  statute,  and  at  the  reunion 
two  years  ago  they  passed  a  resolution  asking  for  its  repeal.

A  Heparato  (U'partnuMit  for  tho  colored  piipilw  was  CHtubliHlied 
in  1«H9.  This  Ih  in  chai'Ko  of  Mr.  Monroe  Ingram,  a  colored 
gradiiato  of  the  KannaH  School  for  the  Deaf.  Tho  attendance 
this  seBsion  is  thirtc(!n.  Tho  legal  title  of  tho  school  was  at 
firrtt  AHyluni.  But  this  was  repugnant  and  misleading,  and 
in  lcS74  the  name  was  changed  to  Institution  for  tho  Educa- 
tion of  tlic  Deaf  and  Dumb.  The  present  name  was  given 
in  1889. 


HKATINO    AND    LKiFITlNd. 

Flanking  tho  main  buildings  on  the  east  is  the  two-story 
boiler  house  and  laundry.  This  building  was  erected  in  1880 
at  a  cost  of  $10,000.00.  In  its  five  marunioth  boilers  is 
generated  the  steam  to  heat  the  entire  es"tablishmont,  com- 
prising an  interior  of  over  two  million  cubic  feet.  Tho  steam 
is  conducted  through  pipes  placed  in  six-foot  tunnels  to  tho 
main  buildings,  hence  by  another  tunnel  to  the  school  house. 
The  pipes  for  the  trades  building  are  laid  in  a  box,  though  a 
tunnel  is  projected  to  connect  this  building  with  the  boiler 
house.  The  average  annual  consumption  of  coal  is  about 
48,000  bushels.  The  main  buildings  are  heated  with  Bundy 
radiators,  and  the  school  house  with  the  Perfection  pattern. 
These  are  preferable  to  tho  old  system  of  sheet  radiators 
and  pipes.  The  steam  plant  was  put  in  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  James  Leach,  who  has  rendered  efficient  service  to 
the  school  for   sixteen   years. 

In  this  building  is  located  the  dynamo  to  generate  the 
electricity  for  lighting  purposes.  This  machine  is  kept  run- 
ning all  night.  All  methods  of  lighting,  from  tallow  candles 
to  gas,  have  been  tried  and  discarded.  Tallow  candles  gave 
way  to  kerosene  lamps  but  these  were  a  constant  menace  to 
to  the  safety  of  the  school.  In  1870  sufficient  appropriations 
were  obtained  to  construct  gas  Avorks.  Unfortunately  they 
were  located  too  close  to  the  buildings  and  proved  far  from

An  important  factor  in  proBerving  the  health  of  ho  large 
a  community  m  ourH  in  pure  water.  This  is  supplied  in 
abundiuice  from  an  artesian  well  of  707  feet  depth  in  the 
boiler  house.  This  well  was  sunk  in  1883  and  has  not  failed 
yot,  though  as  much  as  8(),40l)  gallons  have  daily  been 
pumped.  The  water  is  pumped  into  a  largo  tank  in  the  attic 
of  the  centre  building,  whence  it  flows  to  all  parts  of  the 
place.  The  water  has  been  found  to  contain  traces  of 
sulphur  and  iron.  An  artificial  pond  just  north  of  the  boiler 
house,  supplied  the  school  with  water  previous  to  the  sinking 
of  the  artesian  well.  It  is  an  excellent  reservoir,  and 
furnishes  a  plentiful  supply  of  ice  for  the  summer  and  water 
for  steam  heating  and  laundry  purposes.  Two  ice-houses 
have  been  filled  this  winter  with  very  thick  and  clear  ice. 
The  school  has  a  pasture  c<)nii)rising  about  100  acres.  Here 
graze  twenty  milch  cows,  which  supjdy  the  tables  of  the 
pupils  with  milk.  A  garden  of  five  acres  in  the  rear  of  the 
buildings  is  cultivated  by  the  boys  who  are  not  in  the  manual 
training  classes.  Vegetable  and  fruits  in  session  are  fur- 
nished in  plentiful  quantities. 

To  prevent  a  repetition  of  the  catastrophe  of  1888  a 
water  main  has  been  laid  to  connect  with  the  city  water- 
works. Fire-plugs  are  placed  at  convenient  distances  around 
the  buildings.  The  sanitary  condition  of  the  school  is 
excellent.  The  grounds  and  buildings  are  kept  in  order  by 
the  steward  and  matron.     The  front  has  been  laid  out  with

walks  and  drive-ways,  which,  however,  have  not  heen  com- 
pleted for  lack  of  funds. 

A  system  of  electric  clocks  was  put  in  lately.  It  con- 
sists of  14  secondary  clocks  and  connected  with  the  central 
regulator  are  three  tower  clocks,  and  secures  uniform  time. 
The  changes  in  divisions  are  made  by  means  of  a  steam 
chime  in  the  boiler  house.  It  might  be  said  that  we  wake, 
eat,  and  go  to  bed  by  chimes. 

REUNION  OF  FOKMKK  IH  TILS. 

In  the  spring  of  1891  the  Board  of  Managers,  through 
the  Superintendent,  extended  a  cordial  invitation  to  the 
former  pupils  of  the  institution  to  hold  a  reunion  here. 
Over  a  hundred  accepted  and  came  from  all  directions,  even 
from  Pennyf'  ;ania.  Several  days  were  pleasantly  and 
profitably  spent  in  a  social  and  business  way.  The  new 
school  building  was  dedicated  by  the  Revs.  A.  W.  Mann  and 
J.  H.  Cloud,  two  deaf  clergymen.  The  former  has  bis  head 
quarters  in  Cleveland,  the  other,  in  St.  Louis.  An  associ- 
ation was  formed  of  the  graduates  to  be  known  us  the  Mis- 
souri Association  of  the  Deaf.  In  the  convention  a  number 
of  interesting  papers  touching  on  the  technical  and  moral 
education  of  the  deaf  were  presented  and  discussed.  The 
sentiment  of  the  Association  was  in  favor  of  a  compiilsory 
education  law  for  the  deaf,  and  a  resolution  was  adopted 
peLitiouing  the  Legislature  to  pass  such  a  measure.  Another 
resolution  asking  for  tlie  repeal  of  the  law  requiring  20 
pupils  in  a  class  to  one  teacher  was  also  adopted.  The 
meeting  attracted  considerable  attention,  as  it  was  the  first 
of  its  kind  in  the  State.  The  time  and  place  of  the  next 
meeting  is  left  to  the  executive  committee  composed  of  the 
follov»'ing  officers:  Henry  Gross,  president;  Miss  Dosia  A. 
Grimmett,  vice-president;    Stephen  Shuey,  secretary;    ChaB.

tions of  the  former  pupils.  The  Convention  adjourned  on 
September  5th,  1891,  after  a  session  of  four  days.  The

Wisconsin  School  for  the  Deaf. 


The  Wisconsin  School  for  the  Deaf  is  in  IMavan,  Wal- 
worth County,  a  town  of  2,2(X)  inhabitants,  on  the  Racin.  .t 
i^outhwestern  .livision  of  the  C".,  M.  &  St.  P.  R.  R  whic^h 
with  Its  wide  streets,  well-kept  lawns  and  tasty  residences,' 
justly  claims  to  he  one  of  the  most  attractive  towns  in  the 
^Me,  and  with  Delavan  Lake,  which  is  two  and  a  half  li:: 

rV  lu"'"'"'  '"  '"'"  ""^  *''"  ^^^^*  ^^I^"l'^^-  «""'"^^r  resorts  in 
the  Northwest. 

The  institution  is  delightfully  situated   on  an  elevation 
overlooking  the  town  and  the  sun-ounding  country,  and  the 
I'eauty  and   desirability  of  its  location  can  hardly  be  sur- 
passed.    The  grounds  include  about  forty  acres.     The  build- 
ings are  artistically  constructed  an.l  arc  supplied  with  all  the 
"Kxlern  improvements,  such  as  electri<.  lighting,  steam  heat- 
ng,  and  water  for  fire  and  domestic  purposes.     The  institu- 
tion  embraces  two  departments-the  educational    and  the 
industrial.     The  edu.ational  department  comprises  a  school 
coui-se  covering  about  ten  years,    whose    curriculum   cor- 
responds to  that  in  our  public  schools.     The  system  of  in- 
s  ruction  in  the  school  is  the  Combined  System,  which  in- 
cludes the  manual  a.id   the  oral    method;.     The    manual 
method  IS  the  teaching  by  use  of  signs,  of  the  manual  alphabet 
and  by  writing.     The  oral  or  articulati.m   method   is   the 
teaching  by  spee<.h.     Each  pupil  is  taught  by  that  method 
winch  IS  best  suited  to  the  pupil .      The  manual  method  has 
been  employed  eve-r  since  the  organization    of  the  school 
The  oral  method  was  begun  in  this  institution  as  soon  as    if 
not  prior  to,  any  institution  in  the  West.     Miss  Emily  Eddv 
has  been  articulation  teacher  in  the  school  since  1868      For 
the  last  eight  vcars  ther«  1....  ...„,,  .v.,.„3  ^articulation  classes 


each  cliiss  having  a  separate  teacl 


ler.     The   i)lan  in  these 


(; 


(^lasses  is  to  liave  cxcluriivoly  oral  recitations.  Pupils  an;  not 
only  taught  articulation,  but  they  are  taught  by  articulation. 
Graduates  from  this  school  are  ([ualitied  to  enter  the  intro- 
ductory class  of  the  Deaf-Mute  College  at  Washington,  D.  C. 
In  the  industrial  department  four  trades  are  taught— 
cabinet-making,  shoemaking,  printing  and  baking.  Each 
shop  is  under  the  direct  supervision  of  a  skilled  foreman  and 
pupils  leaving  the  institution  are  thus  enabled  to  earn  a 
sufficient  livelihood.  The  law  provides  that  all  deaf  and 
dumb  residents  of  the  state,  ])etween  the  ages  of  eight  and 
twenty-five  years,  of  suitable  capacity,  shall  be  received  and 
taught— free  of  charge  for  board  and  tuition,  parents  and 
guardians  1)eing  expected  to  furnish  clothing  and  pay  traveling

'l  he  Wisconsin  School  for  the  Deaf  was  incorporated  by 
an  act  of  the  legislt^ture  April  19th,  1852,  which  declared  the 
object  of  the  school  as  follows :  '  'To  afibrd  to  the  deaf  and  dumb 
of  the  state,  so  far  as  possible,  enlightened   and    practical 
education,  that  may  aid  them  to  obtain  the  means  of  subsis- 
tence, discharge  the  duties  of  citizenship,  and  secure  all  the 
happiness  Avhich  they  are  capable  of  obtaining."    The  incep- 
tion and  establishment  of  this  school  is  largely  due  to  Ebenezer 
Cheesbro,  who  emigrated  from  New  York  State  and  settled 
two  miles  west  of  Delavan  in  1889.     Ariadna,  the  deaf  daughter 
of  Mr.  Cheesbro,  had  been  in  school  in  the  New  York  institu- 
tion, au'l  Mr.  Cheesbro  was  desirous  of  completing  her  educa- 
tion.    In  1850  Miss  Wealthy  Hawes  was  engaged  to  come  to 
the  Cheesbro  residence  and  teach   Ariadna,   together  with 
James  A.  Dudley,  a  deaf  boy  living  in  the  vicinity.     Miss 
Hawes  was  a  graduate  of  the  New  York  institution  and  had 
known  Ariadna  in  school.     This  acquaintance  led  to  her  in- 
stallment as  a  tutor  of  these  two  deaf  children.     In  the  fall 
of  1851  she  was  succeeded  by  John  A.  Mills,  a  graduate  of  the 
New  York  institution.     About  this  time  the  idea  of  organiz- 
ing a  larger  school  was  formulated  by   the  members  of  the 
( 'heesbro  family,  and   it  was  through  their  efforts  that  the 
school  opened  in  the  fall  of  1851  with  seven  deaf  pupils  and 
John   A.   Mills   as  teacher.     This  school  was  held  at  Mr. 
Cheesl)ro's  residence  for  four  months  and  was  maintained  at 


his  own  expense.     It  ^vas  tlieu  tluit  Mr.  Cheesbro  luid  dvnwu 
up,  and  circulated,  a  petition  to  the  legislature  asking  for  the 
establishment  of  an  institute  for  the  education  of  the  deaf,  in 
be  located  at  or  nearDelavan.     Hon.  C.  M.  Baker,  assembly- 
man from  Walworth  county,  presented  the  petition  to  the 
legislature,  and  it  was  through  his   efforts  that   a  bill  was 
passed  April  19th,  1852,  incorporating  the  "Wisconsin  Insti- 
tution foi    'le  Education  ofthe  Deaf  and  Dumb,"  to  be  located 
atDelavan,  Walworth  county.     On  the  recommendation  of 
Superintendent   J.    W.  Swiler,  the  legislature   changed  the 
name  of  the  school  to  the  "Wisconsin  School  for  the  Deaf  in 
1885.     The  act  of  incorporation  named  Ebenezer  Cheesbro, 
William  C.  Allen,  Franklin  K.   Phuniix,   Henderson  Hunt, 
P.  W.  Lake,  Wyman  8i)ooner,  Jesse  ('.  Mills,  James  A.  Max- 
well and  George  Williams  as  a  l)oard  of  trustees,  having  the 
general  management  of  the  school,  with  power  to  employ  a 
I)rincipal ;  and  made  an  apja-opriation  of  $8,000  for  buildings, 
and  $500  for  the  supi)nrt  ofthe  school  for  the  ensuing  year. 
This  boar<l   was   organized  in  June,  1852,  with   Henderson 
Hunt,  president ;  V^'yman  Spooner,  treasurer  ;  F.  K.  Ph(enix. 
secretary;  J.  R.  Kradway,  principal.     Under  this  administra- 
tion school  was  opened  in  July,  with  eight  pupils,  in  the 
upper  story  of  a  building  in  the  rear  of  the  Schultz  block, 
where  it  remained  till  the  new   buildings  were  completed. 
The  pupils  were  at   first  Ijoarded   in  private   fjimilies,    but 
their  number  increasing  to  fourteen  a  house  was  rented  for 
their  special  use. 

In  the  meantime  the  location  and  erection  of  the  new 
i)uildings  occupied  the  attention  of  the  board.  F.  K. 
Phajnix  donated  a  tract  of  eleven  acres  in  the  western  i)art  of 
Delavan,  which  is  the  pr<'sent  site  ofthe  institution,  and  in 
his  honor  the  grounds  are  called  "Phienix  ( Ircen."  The  plan 
of  the  buildings  consisted  of  a  main  building,  5(5x60,  five 
stories,  of  brick,  including  basement  and  attic,  with  two  trans- 
verse or  lateral  wings.  The  east  wing,  a  two-story  building 
of  brick,  34  by  44,  with  attic  and  basement,  was  completed 
in  January,  1854,  at  accjst  of  $2,!)81,  and  had  accommodation 
for  thirty-five  pui)ils.  The  school  moved  into  their  new 
•  luarters    the    following    month.     The    main  building    was 


iinished  in  ISoT  at  a  cost  of  880,000.  Among  otlun-  iniprove- 
nu'Uts  made  that  year  was  the  construotioii  of  a  workshop, 
;24x4.S,  two-storios  in  hidglit,  at  a  cost  of  $1,500,  together  with 
;i  large  burn. 

Princi])al  Hradway  luul  been  succeeded  by  Lucius  Foote, 
and  lie  in  turn  by  Ht)ratio  N.  JIubbell.  At  the  time  of  the 
opening  of  the  new  l)uilding,  Louis  H.  Jenkins  was  principaL 
He  was  a  man  of  experience  in  deaf-mute  education  and  con- 
tril)uted  largely  to  the  auspicious  opening  of  the  school. 

To  Professor  Warren  Robinson  we  are  indebted  for  the 
following  extract  from  his  history  of  the  school.  "In  1850 
Mr.  Jenkins  was  succeeded  by  J.  S.  Officer,  under  whose  able 
management  the  institution  made  a  decidedly  forward  move. 
Thougli  previously  advocated  by  Mr.  Jenkins,  industrial  edu- 
catitm  was  not  begun  until  Mr.  Officer's  term,  in  the  form  of 
(•al)inet-niaking.  This  was  a  wise  step,  for  too  much  can 
hardly  ))e  said  in  favor  of  manual  training,  especially  in  the 
<;ase  of  the  deaf. 

During  the  session  of  1857-58  a  law  was  passed  by  the 
legislatur(>  recjuiring  pupils  who  were  sent  to  the  Deaf  and 
Duml)  or  Blind  institutions  to  pay  $75  per  annum  unless* 
parents  could  make  oath  before  an  officer  that  they  were  un- 
able to  pay  that  amount  ;  and  a  similar  one  in  1867  ;  but 
they  ojjerated  so  disastrously  on  the  i)rosperity  of  those  in- 
stitutions that  they  were  both  repealed  soon  after  their  i)assage. 
The  ]ieriod  of  the  civil  war  was  a  time  of  considerable  pecu- 
niary emltarrassmentto  the  institute,  and  teachers  worked  on 
retluced  salaries.  Mr.  Officer  died  in  office  in  1864  and  his 
place  was  tilled  by  Mr.  H.  W.  Milligan,  whose  administration 
was  signalized  by  the  introdu(!tion  of  steam-heating,  gas- 
lighting,  and  the  oi)ening  <}f  a  shoe-shop.  The  next  two 
princii)als  to  take  charge  of  the  institute,  between  the  years 
1869  and  1875,  were  E.  C.  Stone  and  George  L.  Weed,  both 
men  of  exi)erience  and  ability.  In  1875  Dr.  William  H.  De 
.Motte  was  elected  superintendent.  The  following  events 
marked  his  term  of  office  :  The  erection  of  a  small  wooden 
Ituilding  for  a  gyuauisium  ;  the  opening  of  u  basket-shop  in  a 
part  of  the  calnnet  sho}) ;  the  introduction  of  printing  and  the 
starting   of  a  paper,  the  "Deaf  Mute  Press,"  in   1878;  tlie 


9 

giving  of  elementary  instruction  in  drawing  for  a  few  months  ; 
the  erection  and  fitting  up  of  a  building  for  a  Icitchen  and 
laundry  ;  and  the  destruction  of  the  old  institute  by  fire  on 
September  16th,  1879.  No  clue  as  to  the  origin  of  the  fire 
has  ever  yet  been  obtained.  The  building  was  a  total  loss  to 
the  state,  as  it  was  not  covered  by  insurance.  In  spite  of  the 
great  inconvenience  caused  by  this  most  unexpected  calamity 
the  work  of  the  school  was  not  suspended.  The  shoe-shop 
was  immediately  converted  into  a  dormitory  for  the  boys, 
while  the  lady  teachers  and  girls  were  taken  in  by  private 
families  on  the  hill  and  down  town.  In  the  meantime  the 
school  work  was  carried  on  mostly  in  the  Methodist  church  in 
the  village,   until  the  carpenter-shop  was   divided   up  into

school-rooms,  and  a  small  office  for  the  principal  and 
steward.  After  the  fire  the  public  press  began  seriously  to 
discuss  the  advisability  of  moving  the  institution  to  some 
other  place,  but  nothing  came  of  it.  Plans  for  new  buildings 
were  adopted  and,  an  appropriation  of  $65,000  having  been 
secured,  their  erection  was  commenced  in  the  spring  of  1880." 
The  new  buildings  were  constructed  on  the  cottage  or 
segregate  plan.  The  main  building  is  ii  three-story  white 
brick  structure,  with  attic,  and  solid  stone  basement,  50x100. 
A  wide  corridor  runs  the  entire  length  of  the  first  floor,  which 
contains  a  reception-room,  parlor,  office,  matron's  room  and 
and  a  suite  of  rooms  occupied  by  the  superintendent.  On 
the  second  floor  is  a  large,  well-lighted  study-room  used  by 
the  girls,  and  the  rooms  occupied  by  the  lady  teachers  living

in  tlie  institution.  On  the  third  floor  are  the  girls'  sleeping 
and  toilet-rooms.  The  attic  is  used  as  a  gymnasium  for  girls. 
In  the  rear  of  the  main  huilding  is  a  two-story  hrick  exten- 
sion, 45x7'),  which  contains  a  chapel,  with  seating  capacity 
for  3C)0  persons. 

The  chapel  has  a  large  platform  supplied  with  a  full 
complement  of  stage  settings  and  drop  curtains  which  aid 
materially  in  the  giving  of  institution  entertainments.     In 
the  basement  of  the  building  are  thedining-hall  and  kitchen. 
About  100  yards  east  of  the  main  building  stands  the  school 
building,  a  solid,  white  brick  and  stone  structure,  two  stories 
in  height,  with  basement,  66x122.     It  has  two  main  entrances, 
one  for  the  boys  and  one  for  the  girls.     A  wide  corridor  runs 
the  entire  length  of  the  building  on  each  floor.     The  school- 
rooms, 20x26,  are  all  sui)plied  with  closets  and  cloak-rooms, 
and  are  so  arranged  that  each  room  has  the  benefit  of  sunlight 
during  some  portion  of  the  day.     The  building  is  well  fur- 
nished with  the  best  school  apparatus,  and  has  ample  accom- 
modations in  the  way  of  heat  and  ventilation.     Thirty  yards 
west  of  the  main  building  is  the  boys'  dormitory,  a  two-story 
white-brick  structure,  with  stone  basement,  66x122,  which 
contains  besides  the  dormitories,  lavatories  and  study-rooms. 
In  the  rear  of  the  main  building  stands  the  new  engine  house, 
which  was  erected  in  1885.     The  building  is  two  stories  in 
height,  with  a  smokestack  107  het  high.     The  building  is 
equipped  with  a  Rice  automatic  slide-valve  engine,  which  runs 
an  Edison  dynamo  that  furnishes  the  electric  light  for  all  the 
institution  buildings  and  grounds.     A  storage  battery  is  used 
to  supply  the  light  during  the  latter  part  of  the  night.     The 
building  is  also  furnished  with  a  Knowlcs   i)unip  for  fire 
purposes  ;  two  smaller  pumps  for  filling  boilers  and  an  eight- 
horse  power  engine  for  driving  the  machinery.     In  the  boiler- 
room  are  three  large  tubular  boilers,  five  feet  in  diameter  by 
sixteen  feet  in  length,  for  generating  steam  used  in  the  heat- 
ing of  the  buildings,  which  is  done  by  the  gravity  return  sys- 
tem, and  another  boiler,  3x11,  for  running  the  dynamo  en- 
gine  and  for  heating  water.     On   the   second   lloor   is   the 
laundry,    which    is    supplied     with    reversible,    hydraulic 
washers,  a  Weston  centrifugal  wringer  and  a  ternary  mangle.

Other  buildings  contain  the  printing  onife,  wliich  is  .supplied 
with  a  I'routy  power  press,  johhor  and  cutter ;  u  cabinet- 
shop,  a  shoe-shop,  a  finely  equipped  gynuiasiuni,  bath  and 
swinuTung  pool,  play-rooms  and  hospital. 

The  present  Superintendent,  J.  W.  Swiler,  took  charge  of 
the  institution  in  July,  1,S8().  During  his  administration  the 
new  buddings  have  been  constructed,  the  various  depart- 
ments of  the  institution  enlarged  and  developed,  and  to-day 
the  institution  enjoys  the  reputaticm  of  being  on(,'  of  the  best 
equipped  and  best  managed  schools  in  the  country.  I'hat 
Mr.  Swiler  is  a  man  well  qualified  for  thei)ositi(m  he  holds  is 
univer.sally  adndtted,  and  further  attested  by  the  fact  that  he

tratiou  of  the  state.  The  following  mention  is  taken  from 
Professor  Robinson's  history  of  the  institution:  "The 
present  Superintendent,  John  W.  Swiler,  was  born  in  Cum- 
berland county,  Penn.sylvania,  in  1844.  In  18.52  his  i)arents 
removed  to  AEonmouth,  Illinois,  and  in  the  course  of  time  he 
entered  the  college  at  that  place  and  graduated  in  1864,  after 
which  he  en-aged  in  the  book  trade  for  two  years.  In  1867 
he  went  to  Jacksonville,  Illinois,  where  he  was  appointed  as 
a  teacher  in  the  state  institution  there.  His  stay  in  Jackson- 
ville covered  thirteen  years,  during  which  time  he  constantly 
rose  to  prominence  as  a  man  well  fitted  to  educate  and 
govern.     Endowed  with  great  practical  and  executive  alnlity, 


12 


as  well  as  good  jiulRinent,  he  seems  to  have  found  his  proper 
place  in  the  profesHion.  His  experience  grows  rapidly  with 
his  years.  His  appearance  indicates  energy,  decision,  and 
finnnesH.  His  use  of  th(!  sign  language  is  characterized  by 
perspicuity,  and  his  utterances  are  fraught  with  the  useful 
and  practical.  Since  he  came  here  he  has  steadily  grown  in 
the  esteem  of  those  in  his  charge,  no  less  for  his  managing 
skill  than  for  the  faithful  care,  considerati"n  and  respect  he 
ever  evinces  for  them .  And  inclosing  it  does  not  seem  too 
much  to  say  that  his  management  has  had  a  tendency  to  de- 
velop the  present  material  and  mental  resources  of  the  school 
to  a  degree  never  surpassed."  Superintendent  Swiler  is  a 
member  of  the  Wisconsin  State  Educational  Committee,  and 
also  of  the  committee  of  that  section  of  the  World's  Fair  Con- 
gress Auxiliary  devoted  to  deaf-mute  instruction,  of  which  Dr. 
P.  G.  Gillett  is  chairman.  He  is  a  man  of  progressive  ideas, 
and  during  his  administration  the  school  has  attained  a  high 
rank  among  the  institutions  of  the  country.  In  1885  the  in- 
stitution received  a  diploma  from  the  Cotton  Centennial  Ex- 
position at  New  Orleans  for  pupils'  work.  Very  flattering 
exhibits  of  school  work  were  made  at  the  Teachers'  National 
Convention  at  Madison  in  1884,  also  at  Chicago  in  1886,  and 
at  the  Milwaukee  Industrial  Exposition  at  several  times. 

The  institution  was  under  the  general  management  of  a 
Board  of  Trustees  from  its  establishment  till  1881,  when,  with 
all  other  charitable,  penal  and  reformatory  institutions  in  the 
state,  it  passed  under  the  control  of  a  State  Board  of  Super- 
vision, consisting  of  George  W.  Burchard,  president  ;  Charles 
Luling,  James  Bintliff',  C.  D.  Parker  and  L.  A.  Procitor.  The 
outgoing  board  of  trustees  consisted  of  S.  R.  LaBar,  D.  G. 
Cheever,  Hollis  Latham,  E.  D.  Holton,  and  Albert  Salisbury. 
Dr.  A.  L.  Chapin,  thelatepresidentofBeloit  college,  resigned 
in  1880.  He  Avas  for  many  years  the  president  of  this  Board, 
and,  having  once  been  a  teacher  of  the  deaf,  was  at  all  times 
the  ardent  supporter  and  warm  friend  of  the  institution,  and 
is  held  in  sacred  memory  by  all  deaf-mutes  and  all  friends  of 
deaf-mute  instruction  in  the  State  of  Wisconsin.  The  Board 
of  Supervision  remained  in  office  for  ten  years  and  during  its 
administration  of  afiiiirs  the  public  institutions  of  the  state 


13 

enjoyed  a  ixa-iotl  of  unprocedented  growth  and  devolopnicnt.

K.  E.  ClippinKer  in  188;{ ;  W.  K,  (Way  in  1887  ;  J.  S.  Lonji 
in  1889 ;  Thomas  Hajicrty  in  1891.  Warren  llohinson, 
Thomas  Hagerty  and  J.  J.  Murpliy  are  j?raduates  of  this 
school,  and  J.  S.  l^on^  is  a  Ki'iidnateof  the  Iowa  State  School 
for  the  Deaf. 

The  only  death  of  a  resident  officer  that  is  recorded 
in  the  annals  of  the  school  occurred  Fehruary  3d,  18(i5, 
when  J.  S.  OlHcer,  who  had  been  at  the  head  of  the 
school,  as  principal  and  steward,  for  eight  years,  was  re- 
moved by  death.  In  a  tribute  to  the  memory  of  Mr.  ()Hi(  cr. 
Hon.  X.  M.  Harrington,  Secretary  of  the  lioard  of  Trustees, 
wrote  as  follows  :  ''  Mr.  Officer  iwasessed  a  rare  combination 
of  (lualitications  for  the  position  which  he  occupied.  Among 
these  were  the  following :  A  strong,  ripe  and  luminous 
Christian  character,  a  Christianity  which  infused  its  ennobling 
and  benign  spirit  into  all  his  life  ;  great  executive  ability 
and  untiring  industry  ;  unswerving  integrity  and  ^^^crul)ulous 
exactness  in  the  details  of  business ;  a  marked  suavity  and 
kindness  clothing  a  deportment  of  unusual  ilignity  ;  a  ceaso 
less  watchfulness  for  the  well-being  of  those  comnutted  to 
his  care  ;  system  and  order  reigned  wherever  he  had  con- 
trol. In  the  use  of  the  sign  language  he  was  a  master." 
In  this  comiection  it  seems  proper  to  state  that  in  188.'> 
the  institution  sustained  a  serious  loss  in  the  death  of 
Professor  Z.  (i.  McCoy,  who  had  labored  diligently,  witli  an 
unswerving  devotion  to  duty,  and  an  untiring  interest  in  all 
that  concerned  the  members  of  this  institution  during  almost 
its  entire  history,  his  connection  with  the  institution  dating 
from  November,  1855.  In  Superintendent  Swiler's  report  to 
the  State  Board  of  Supervision,  we  tind  the  following 
mention  :  "Z.  G.  Mc(!oy  was  born  at  Fort  Edwards,  New 
York,  November  1st,  1829.     He  was  appointed  teacher  in 


IG 

this  school  soon  after  gradiuiting  from  the  New  York  institu- 
tion. He  came  to  his  work  with  the  higiiest  recommendu- 
ti(»ns  and  during  his  subsequent  course  he  developed  a  higher 
scholarship  and  a  more  loving  Christian  character  than  even 
his  most  sanguine  friends  had  expected.  During  the  years 
that  have  passed  and  through  all  the  changes  that  have 
transi)ired  in  this  institution,  Zachariah  G.  McCoy  remained 
steadfastly  at  his  post,  laboring  earnestly  for  those  he  loved. 
Xo  one  but  a  teacher  can  realize  how  much  of  devotion,  self- 
sacrifice,  an<l  hard  work  was  required  by  the  opi)ortunities  of 
those  twenty-eight  long  years,  and  no  one  but  the  'Infinite 
One"  can  know  how  much  good  work  was  done  by  this  faith- 
ful servant,  in  unveiling  so  many  beclouded  minds." 

In  the  industrial  department  John  Beamslev  has  been  at 
th.'head  of  the  shoe-shop  since  1882;  W.  T.  Passage,  foreman 
of  the  printing  f»ffice  since  1891  ;  and  Mollis  Stone  took 
charge  of  the  carpenter-shop  in  1892. 

Nine  hundred  and  twenty  pupils  have  had  instru(>tion  in 
the  school  since  18r,2  ;  of  this  number  105  took  the  full  course 
and    graduated    prior  to    1880;    since  that  time  89  have 
graduated ;  making  a  total  of  194  graduates.     Of  this  number 
20  liave  entered  the  National  (allege  for  the  Deaf  at  Wash- 
ington.    There  are  at  jjresent  180  pupils  ii.  the  school.     Ac- 
<'ording   to   the   P:ieventh  Census  there  are  1,883   deaf  an<l 
dumb  in  Wisconsin— 793  males  and  r,40  females,  or  one  deaf 
pcison  to  every  l,26o  inhabitants.     Of  these  743  are  beyond 
the  school  age  ;  ir,8  under  school  age  and  437  between  the 
ages  of  eight  and  twenty.     As  there  are  now  about  27.",  chil- 
<lreii  in  the  schools  for  the  deaf  in  Wisconsin,  it  leaves  1(52 
deaf  children  of  school  age  not  under  instruction. 

An  Alumni  Association  was  organized  in  1876.  Lars  M. 
Lars(.ji,  a  graduate  of  this  school  and  tht*  founder  and  present 
su|.erinten(lent  of  the  school  for  the  deaf  at  Santa  Fe,  New 
Mexico,  was  the  founder  of  this  association,  and  for  several 
years  its  president.  The  association  has  held  triennial  re- 
unions since  then,  and  at  present  has  a  membership  of  about 
one  hun-ired  alumni. 

,       In  connection  with  the  school  are  two  literary  societies. 
The    Ariadna   Society,    named    in    honor    of    Ariadna 


17 


Clieeshro,  was  organized  in  1S89  by  Miss  Linnic  Bailey,  a 
tiraduate  of  189().  It  includes  in  its  membership  the  gins  of 
the  highest  four  (Masses  and  meets  once  a  week.  The  Phcjuiix 
Literary  Society,  including  likewise  the  elder  boys  of  the 
school,  was  organized  in  18«4,  though  it  existed  two  vears 
prior  thereto  as  the  Badger  Literary  Society.  It  meets  tbr 
debate  and  other  literary  exercises  'very  Saturday  evening 
and  is  well  maintained  from  year  to  year. 

The  Art  Department  gives  half-hour  daily  instruction  in 
writing  and  drawing  to  each  of  the  classes  in  school.  In  ad- 
dition to  this,  select  classes  are  given  higher  instruction  in  the 
studio.  Tliis  department  has  grown  since  1881,  when  regular 
instruction  in  writing  and  drawing  was  begun,  untifthe 
whole  school  feels  its  influence  and  many  have  come  to  a 
higher  appreciation  of  the  possibilities  of  life. 

The  Department  of  Physical  (Xilture  with  competent  in- 
structors and  well-equipped  gymnasia  for  the  boys  and  the 
girls  is  doing  a  great  work  of  development  for  many,  who  in 
addition  to  deafness  would  display  other  defects  of  form  or 
feature  were  it  not  for  a  systematic  course  of  calisthenics, 
which  straightens,  broadens,  and  makes  more  supple  and 
graceful  boys  and  girls,  who  lack  only  proper  training  to 
niake  them  perfect  specimens  of  manhood  and  womanhood. 

The  Wisconsin  Times  is  a  weekly,  eight-page  paper  de- 
voted to  the  interests  of  institution  affairs  and  deaf-mute  in- 
struction in  general.  Prior  to  1881  it  was  published 
irregularly  imder  the  name  of  the  Deaf-Mute  Press,  at  which 
time  it  was  changed  to  its  present  name,  made  a  regulai- 
weekly  publication,  and  enlarged  to  its  i)resent  size.  The 
l)aper  is  printed  and  partly  edited  by  the  pupils  of  the  school. 
Its  editorials  on  leading  topics  pertaining  to  the  education  of 
the  deaf,  its  spicy  locals  on  life  in  the  institution  and  its 
general  matter  of  valual)le  information  reflect  a  great  deal  of 
credit  on  its  editor  and  on  the  institution,  and  its  extensive 
exchange  list  attests  its  popularity  with  not  only  other 
institutions  but  also  the  press  of  the  state. 

Tm  concluding  it  seems  but  justice  to  add  that  the  present 
cfHciency  and  prosperity  of  the  school  is  largely  due  to  the 
superior   management  of  the  state  board,  to  the  adminis-

tration  of  its  Superintendent.  J.  W.  Swiler,  and  to 
his  sagacity  in  selecting  and  retaining  an  efficient  official 
corps  of  instruction.  Since  he  assumed  control,  in  1880,  the 
school  has  from  time  to  time  extended  its  course  of  instruction 
and  organized  new  branches  of  study  and  work  as  fast  as 
necessity  required  or  ability  permitted.  The  sterling  worth 
of  his  character  has  been  reflected  on  the  lives  of  all  children 
under  his  care,  and  the  example  of  his  life  and  the  precepts  of 
his  moral  and  religious  teaching  are  embodied  in  the  high 
<liaracter  of  the  meli  and  women  who  have  gone  out  from  this 
institution.  There  are  no  deaf  beggars  and  no  deaf  criminals 
in  Wisconsin.  Those  who  might  have  otherwise  become  a 
burden  to  society  are  found  in  the  useful  walks  of  life,  most 
of  them  discharging  all  the  duties  of  intelligent  citizenship,  sup- 
})orting  themselves  and  faiuilies,  and  in  many  cases  occupy- 
ing leading  positions  in  the  social  and  industrial  pursuits  of 
the  communities  .in  which  they  live.  This  brief  historical 
sketch  is  only  an  outline  of  the  course  of  events  a  l  the  Wis- 
consin School  for  the  Deaf,  the  records  are  replete  with  sug- 
gestive facts  and  incidents  for  the  complete  history  of  the 
.school,  which  is  yet  to  be  written.

THE  LOUISIANA  SCHOOL  FOR  THE  DEAR 

^  Until  1852  the  deaf  children  of  LouiHiana  were  Hent  to  tbe 
Kentucky  Institution  at  Danville,  at  the  expenne  of  the  State. 

By  an  Lct  of  the  legislature,  apiiroved  March  18,  1852,  the 
board  of  managers  "  purchased  the  property  heretofore  known 
as  the  'Baton  Rouge  College,'  together  with  three  other 
squares  of  ground  lying  immediately  back  of,  or  east  of,  said 
property,  with  the  exception  of  three  lots,  for  the  price  and 
sum  of  six  thousand  three  hundred  and  ninety-five  dollars 
($(i,395).  The  price  paid  for  the  same,  we  are  happy  to  say,  is 
extremely  reasonable,  and  the  location,  at  the  lower  end  of  the 
corporation,  possessing  a  beautiful  and  commanding  view  of 
the  river,  renders  it,  in  the  opinion  of  the  board,  for  such  an  in- 
stitution, one  of  the  most  desirable  in  the  city  of  Baton 
Rouge."  Thus  ran  the  first  words  in  the  first  annual  report 
of  the  administrators. 

The  members  of  the  first  board  were  Gen.  Joseph  Bernard, 
president;  William  S.  Pike,  secretary  and  treasurer;  Dr.  B.  F. 
Harney,  Col.  Nolan  Stewart,  Major  James  N.  Brown,  Dr. 
Thomas  J.  Buffington,  and  Major  Augustin  Duplantier.  Of 
these,  only  one.  Dr.  T  J.  Buffington,  is  alive. 

Mr.  James  S.  Brown,  M.  A.,  a  gentleman  eminently  qualified, 
and  who  was  then  the  superintendent  of  the  Indiana  School, 
was  appointed  to  guide  the  infant  days  of  this  institute. 

Thirteen  pupils  were  the  first  record  in  attendance  on  the 
8th  of  December,  1852. 

From  this  year  the  preparatory  arrangements,  as  well  as  the 
progress  of  the  School,  went  along  smoothly,  the  board  of  ad- 
ministrators and  all  connected  with  the  School  showing  the 
highest  enthusiasm.  At  the  outset  Superintendent  Brown 
maintained  the  advantage  of  having  the  deaf  and  the  blind  to- 
gether, affirming  that  the  former  in  their  intercourse  with  the 
latter  improve  themselves  in  the  general  use  of  language— the 
most  important  part  of  their  education. 

Mr.  Martin  M.  Hanson,  a  deaf  mute,  was  Mr.  Brown's  first 
assistant. 

The  first  appropriation  made  by  the  legislature  was  the 
sum  of  $25,000,  and  until  "  the  late  unpleasantness  "  it  con- 
tinued to  appropriate  that  liberal  sum  yearly. 


The  Lonhiana  School. 


"A  commencement,  however  humble,  has  now  been  made  of 
an  institution  tlestineil  to  pour  incak-uhible  bU^ssingH  upon  two 
of  the  most  unfortunate  crhissea  whose  hel2)leHs  lot  can  demand 
human  symijathy.  It  is  to  the  credit  of  American  statesmen 
that  it  can  be  said  that  su(!h  an  enterprise  has  never  been 
commenced,  where  a  State  legislat'U'e  could  l)e  made  aware 
of  its  benefits,  anc'  tiled.  Located,  as  this  institution  is,  under 
the  immediate  observation  of  the  legislature  and  State  author- 
ities, we  may  not — cannot — fear  the  result.  Under  such  auspices 
we  may  well  entertain  the  hope  that  a  monument  of  th(;  judi- 
cious liberality  of  the  State  will  here  be  reared  which  shall 
tell  to  generations  of  men  yet  to  inhabit  the  beautiful  cities, 
the  fertile  fields  and  sj^reading  savannas  of  Louisiana  that  her 
legislators  in  this  our  day  had  hearts  to  feel  for  human  woe, 
and  hands  ready  to  lighten  the  crushing  load  of  misfortune 
which  weighs  down  the  sorrow-stricken  blind  and  deaf  and 
dumb."  These  were  the  last  words  in  Sujierintendent  Brown's 
first  annual  report. 

For  the  erection  of  the  stately  buildings  that  now  stand  as 
beautiful  and  useful  ornaments  to  our  State  $350,000  was 
at  different  times  rtjjprojiriated. 

Slowly  but  steadily  did  the  School  grow. 

In  18(50  Mr.  Brown  was  removed,  and  the  entire  corps  of 
instructors,  of  whom  Dr.  J.  L.  Noyes,  now  the  efficient  super- 
intendent of  the  Minnesota  School,  was  one,  resigned.  For  a 
time  the  School  was  paralyzed.  Mr.  A.  K.  Marcin,  then  the 
head  of  the  Mississippi  School,  was  appointed  in  his  place. 

At  the  commencement  of  the  war  the  number  of  pupils  was 
77.     During  the  struggle  the  list  dwindled  down  to  25  or  30. 

For  several  months  the  School  was  left  v^  its  owu  resources  and  all 
were  supported  hy  the  proceeds  of  cakes,  etc.,  made,  in  part,  by  the 
girls,  and  sold  by  the  little  Ijoys,  and  by  the  sale  of  vegetables  from  the 
garden,  and  by  means  advanced  by  benevolent  individuals.  When  these 
resources  failed,  rations  were  received  from  the  Federal  authorities, 
which  were  continued  until  1866,  when  they  evacuated  our  buildings, 
the  larger  portion  of  which  they  had  been  using  since  January,  1863,  for 
hospital  purposes.  The  legislature  of  l8Go  made  an  appropriation  of 
$18,000  for  the  benefit  of  the  institute,  but  owing  to  the  depleted  condi- 
tion of  the  treasury  very  little  of  it  could  be  drawn,  and  the  institution 
continued  in  a  crippled,  discouraging  state.  In  the  succeeding  year  more 
life  and  spirit  was  breathed  into  our  affairs,  and  since  that  period  the 
institution  has  been  steadily  going  forward  in  its  benevol^-it  mission.

In  1867  arrangements  were  made  with  the  board  of  trustees

of  the  MiHHiHHippi  Scliool,  Dvh.  Poindfxtpr  mh\  CabauisH,  and 
Jiidtfo  Potter,  to  liav«.  the  jxipilH  of  tliat  State  in  our  Hchool, 
their  buihliiig  Imviiig  been  burned  down.  Tlie  leginhiture  of 
that  State  agreed  to  pay  $250  a  year  per  pupil. 

In  lH()i)  the  board  of  adniiniHtratorH,  with  J.  A..  McWhorter 
as  'Huperintendent,  yielding  to  the  reeomn.endation  of  Gov. 
H.  C.  Warmoth,  gave  half  of  the  'tuildings  for  the  use  of  the 
State  Seminary  and  Military  Acndeniy.  With  the  growth  of 
these  latter  inHtitutions  the  buildingH  became  crowded.  The 
blind  were  removed  to  other  quarters  in  1871,  and  this  resulted 
in  the  provision  for  them  by  law  of  a  separate  institution. 
This  removal  of  the  blind  only  paved  t!  e  "way  for  forcing  an 
excusable  removal  of  the  deaf,  and  finally  resulted  in  the 
ostensibly  temporary  occupation  by  the  State  University  of 
our  buildings,  planned  and  erected  for  our  peculiar  wants, 
being  made  permanent."  In  speaking  about  this  impolitic  as 
well  as  ungenerous  course,  Supt.  McWhorter  says : 

Education  is  inestimably  more  vahiable  to  the  tleaf-mute  than  it  can 
possibly  be  to  any  other  class,  and  should  be  considered  in  the  light  of 
public  necessity— as  much  as  justice  to  the  innocent  or  food  to  the 
BtarviuK.  Besides,  they  cling  to  this  building  with  the  affection  that 
surrounds  a  home,  and  as  the  spot  where  the  sweet  light  of  intelligence 
and  culture  lirst  broke  in  upon  and  quickened  a  benighted  intellect, 
bringing  joy  and  elevation  that  could  be  found  nowhere  else. 

The  deaf  were  removed  to  the  structure  known  as  the 
"  Herman  Building,"  almost  in  the  heart  of  the  city,  in  the 
summer  of  1879.  This  dingy  old  building  soon  became  over- 
crowded. Small  frame  cottages  were  erected  around  it,  and 
were  used  as  boys'  dormitories.  They  remained  in  this  un- 
comfortable condition  until  1887.  During  all  this  time  the 
board  of  trustees  were  keeping  an  eye  on  the  buildings  origi- 
nally erected  for  the  deaf,  and  endeavoring  to  repossess  them. 
They  were  finally  rewarded  in  1887,  when  the  University  was 
removed  to  the  United  Stai-es  garrison.  Governor  S.  D.  Mc- 
Enery  ordered  the  institution  restored  to  its  original  buildings 
in  the  summer  of  that  year.  This  was  according  to  a  section 
of  an  act  passed  by  the  general  assembly  of  1871,  which  read 
as  follows : 

That  the  board  of  truscees  shall  have  power  to  procure  by  lease  or 
purchase  a  suitable  building  or  buildings  and  grounds  for  all  the  neces- 
sary purposes  of  said  institution,  and  as  soon  as  this  may  be  done  they 
shall  grant  the  temporary  use  of  the  buildings  and  grounds  now  occupied 
and  held  by  said  institution  to  the  Louisiana  State  University  until  said 
University  be  otherwise  wovidcd  for.

bined  under  one  manaff<'nient.  A  proviso  was,  however, 
added  to  the  act  by  which  tlie  two  were  combined  for  restor- 
ing, on  a  specified  condition,  the  separate  organization  of  the 
*'  School  and  Industrial  Home  for  the  Blind."  That  condition 
was  met  by  the  i)urchase  of  a  property  and  the  erection  of  a 
building  at  an  outlay  of  $.'J0,()()(),  without  cost  to  the  State 

The  great  storm  of  the  IDth  and  20th  of  August,  188H,  did 
great  damage  to  ou)'  buildings.  Eight  thousand  dollars  were 
borrowed  from  the  Louisiana  National  Bank  and  the  Canal 
Bank  of  New  Orleans.  The  board  of  trustees  pledged  the 
sum  of  i|.'),400  in  warrants,  which  had  been  approjiriated  by 
the  legislature  for  repairs.

Our  present  superintendent,  Dr.  John  Jastremski,  took  the 
reins  in  1884,  and  since  then  our  School  has  been  steadily  in- 
creasing its  breadth  of  usefulness.  The  corps  of  instructors 
has  been  increased,  and  the  classes  better  organized.  But  the

markB  : 

On  the  18tli  of  Murcli,  185'2.  Gov.  Walker  approved  ami  «iKned  a  bill

intluence,  popularity,  and  pure  intentions,  united  with  industry  and  elo- 
quence,  he  was  enabled  to  triumph  over  his  opi)onents  and  pass  th.*  bill 
by  a  large  majority.  The  buihling  never  fails  to  attract  the  attention  of 
every  traveller  that  passes  the  capitol,  and  in  its  unadorned  beauty 
towers  with  simple  grandeur  over  the  lal)orlous  details  that  deck  the 
Gothio  structure  of  our  state-house. 

Ninety-three  gentlemen  have  been  members  of  the  board  of

THE  MISSISSIPPI  INSTITUTION  FOR   THE  EDUCA 
TION  or  THE  DEAF  AND  DUMB. 

The  first  mention  of  the  deaf  that  has  been  found  in  any  of 
the  State  records  is  in  the  message  of  Governor  A.  G.  McNut, 
sent  to  the  legislature  January  5,  1841. 

In  giving  some  statistics  he  says :  "  There  were  in  the  State 
on  June  1,  1840,  free  white  persons  deaf  and  dumb,  69;  col- 
ored i)ersons  deaf  and  dumb  and  blind,  118." 

It  does  not  appear  that  he  made  any  recommendation  look- 
ing to  the  establishment  of  an  institution  for  their  education, 
or  that  any  member  of  the  legislature  introduced  a  bill  to 
that  end. 

No  reference  has  been  found  to  this  subject  from  that  date 
till  the  meetmg  of  the  legislature  in  1852,  when  Governor 
James  Whitfield  made  the  following  recommendation,  viz : 

One  other  institution  of  a  kindred  ..huracter  [referring  to  the  Luna- 
e  A  ,,umand  Institution  for  the  Blind]  is  still  wanted  to  con.plete  the 
St  of  noble  charities  so  characteristic  of  Southern  generosity;  Ireferto 
the  asylum  for  the  deaf  and  dumb. 

The  poor  mute  who  is  permitted  to  gaze  upon  the  beauties  of  nature 
but  whose  ears  are  forever  closed  to  the  sweet  melody  Providence  has 
ordained  to  gladden  the  human  heart,  and  whose   tongue   has   never 
learned  to  hold  social  converse  with  his  fellow-creatures  or  even  unite  in 
praises  to  the  Most  High,  is  a  sul>ject  to  claim  our  most  anxious  solici- 
tude and  prompt  us  to  some  action  to  ameliorate  his  condition,  whilst 
he  can  only  be  taught  to  appreciate  the  bounties  of  Providence  and 
he  scheme  of  redemption  by  teaching  him  to  read.     Let  us  not  with- 
hold from  hun  this  exalted  privilege  so  fraught  with  happiness  to  all 
who   enjoy   its  benefits;    and   whilst   he   can   only   converse   with   his 
ellow-creatuies  and  enjoy  that  social  intercourse  so  necessary  to   the 
happiness  ot  all  by  learning  to  write,  let  us  do  something  towards  un- 
stopping the  ears  of  the  deaf  and  making  the  dumb  to  speak  through  the 
medium  of  the  pen.  fc>        <= 

I  would  therefore,  recommend  that  a  small  appropriation  be  made 
similar  to  the  one  made  for  the  benefit  of  the  blind!  in  order  to  employ  ^ 
teacher  or  teachers  and  found  a  school  for  the  benefit  of  this  class  of 
our  people,  which  may  be  change.l  or  enlarged  as  circumstances  mav 
hereafter  require.  Au.l  with  this  a.lditional  institution  the  people  of 
Mississippi  may  justly  feel  that  they  have  done  everything  that  could  be 
done  by  legislative  enactment  to  educate  xhe  poor  and  ameliorate  the 
condition  of  the  suffering  and  afflicted. 

In  view  of  the  intimate  connection  between  this  and  the  Institution 
for  the  Blind,  I  respectfully  suggest  that  the  two  might  be  blended 


4  The  Mississippi  Institution. 

under  one  general  supervision,  thereby  lessening  the  expense  to  the 
State  without  detriment  to  either. 

This  recommendation  was  followed  by  the  introduction  of 
a  bill  in  the  House  of  RejDresentatives,  at  that  session,  by  Mi*. 
Jones,  a  representative  from  Pontotoc  county,  establishing  an 
institution  for  the  instruction  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  at  or 
near  the  town  of  Pontotoc,  in  Pontotoc  county.  This  bill 
went  to  its  third  reading  in  the  House,  when  a  "  rider  "  was 
tacked  to  it,  making  the  institution  a  department  of  Oakland 
College,  a  flourishing  male  college  in  this  State  at  that  time. 
This  rider  seems  to  have  killed  the  bill  on  its  final  passage. 
At  the  session  of  the  legislature  in  1854  .i  similai'  bill  was  in- 
troduced in  the  Senate  by  Mr.  Webb,  senator  from  Pontotoc. 
This  "  bill  was  killed  "  in  the  house  of  its  friends,  and  it  seems 
the  energetic  representatives  from  Pontotoc  gave  up  the  idea, 
of  securing  this  prize. 

On  Tuesday,  February  7,  1854,  Col.  Erasmus  R.  Burt,  a 
member  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  and  the  father  of 
the  Mississippi  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb,  offered  tho  following  resolution,  which  was  adopted, 
to  wit : 

Resolved,  That  the  Committee  of  Education  is  hereby  instructed  to 
inquire  into  tlie  expediency  of  enlarging  the  buildings  of  the  Blind  In- 
stitute so  as  to  furnish  apartments  for  the  education  of  the  cljaf  and 
dumb,  and  report  by  bill  or  otherwise. 

Col.  Burt  was  a  prominent  and  influential  member  from 
Oktibbeha  county,  and  at  that  session  was  not  only  a  member 
of  the  Committee  of  Education,  but  was  the  chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  Claims,  the  first  in  the  list  of  committees. 

It  will  be  seen  that,  instead  of  this  being  an  asylum  or  a 
refuge  for  the  deaf,  its  very  origin  was  in  the  idea  of  educa- 
tion, and  every  recommendation,  act,  and  resolution  had  in 
view^  the  education  of  the  deaf,  making  it  purely  an  educa- 
tional institution. 

On  Wednesday  evening,  February  22, 1854,  just  fifteen  days 
after  the  introduction  of  that  resolution.  Col.  Burt,  from  the 
Committee  of  Education,  made  the  following  report,  to  wit : 

Mr.  Speaker  :  The  Committee  on  Education  have  had  under  considera- 
tion the  resolution  of  the  House  instructing  them  to  enquire  into  the 
expediency  of  establishing  an  institution  for  the  education  of  the  deaf 
and  dumb,  and  have  instructed  me  ;o  ^r->rt  the  following  bill,  and 
recommend  that  it  do  pass. 


The  Mississippi  Institution.  5 

The  report  was  received;  the  bill  was  read  the  first  time 
and  passed  to  the  orders  of  the  day.  On  the  morning  of  the 
28th  of  February  Col.  Burt  called  up  this  bill,  and  it  was 
made  the  special  order  for  that  evening  at  7  o'clock.  When 
the  hour  arrived,  on  motion  of  Mr.  Newman,  of  Warren 
county,  the  special  order  was  taken  up.  The  House  resolved 
Itself  mto  committee  of  the  whole,  considered  the  bill,  and 
reported  it  back  without  amendment  and  recommended  its 
passage.  The  report  was  received  and  agreed  to  and  the  bill 
was  read  the  third  time.  Mr.  Liddell  moved  an  amendment 
by  way  of  a  rider.  The  rider  was  read  the  first,  second,  and 
third  times  and  passed.  The  question  was  then  taken  on  the 
passage  of  the  bill  and  rider  and  decided  in  the  affirmative  by 
the  following  vote  : 

Yeas  :  Mr  Speaker  (Hon.  Hiram  Cassidy)  of  FrankJiu  county,  Messrs. 
Aus  ell  Anderson,  Burt,  Brown,  Barksdale,  Betters,  Bernard,  Beasly.

iaiiren,  Magee,  Owen,  Philips,  Powe,  Eozelle,  Eawls,  Kankin,  Rhodes 
of  Jackson,  Regan,  Shann<,n,  Sharpe,  Saddler,  Stark,  Strong,  Swearin- 
gen,  Thomas,  Ward,  and  Wayne— 43. 

Nays:  Messrs.  Abbott,  Autry,  Boren,  Bardin.  Buckley,  Dean, 
Dickens  Elzy,  Garrett,  Gordon,  Henderson,  Hindman,  Hamer,  Jayne, 
Lott,  McQueen,  Mitchell,  Monet,  Newman,  Rives,  and  Siddall-20. 

This  bill  was  immediately  reported  to  the  Senate.  At  the 
afternoon  session  the  next  day,  March  1st,  Mr.  Webb,  senator 
from  Pontotoc,  called  up  the  bill  and  it  passed  its  second 
readmg.  At  this  juncture  Mr.  D.  W.  Adams,  an  energetic 
senator  from  Hinds  county,  got  the  floor  and  called  up  several 
other  bills,  which  were  passed.  Mr.  J.  M.  Ackerman,  of  Mon- 
roe county,  moved  a  reconsideration  of  the  bHl  and  it  was 
finally  passed  by  the  following  vote  : 

Ayes:  Messrs.  Adams,  Arthur,  Berry,  Cobb.  Farrar,  Graves,  Heming- 
way.  Johnston,  McWillie,  Nelson,  Pegues,  West,  and  Webb-13 

Nays:  Mr.  President  (John  J.  Pettus),  Messes.  Beene,  Banks,  Ellett 
■Greer,  Keger,  Oliver,  Ramsay,  and  Stewart— 9. 

The  bill  was  reported  back  to  the  House  at  the  night  session 
of  this  saTue  day.  Time  was  short ;  the  legislature,  by  a  reso- 
lution already  adopted  by  both  houses,  was  to  adjourn  the  next 
day.  Mr.  Siddall,  from  the  Committee  on  Enrolled  Bills,  re- 
ported that  the  joint  committee  had  found  the  bill  correctly 
enrolled.  It  w.a..  then  to  be  signed  by  the  presiding  officers 
of  both  houses,  and  be  sent  to  the  Governor  for  his  approval 


The  Mississippi  Institution. 


before  it  could  become  a  law.  It  was  reported  to  the  Gov- 
ernor that  evening,  signed  or  approved  by  him  that  evening, 
and  reported  back  to  the  House  on  the  morning  of  March  2. 

Thus  was  born,  March  1, 1854,  the  Institution  for  the  Educa- 
tion of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  of  Mississippi.  Those  who  are 
familiar  with  the  workings  of  legislative  bodies  know  that,  with 
the  opposition  to  this  bill,  there  must  have  been  some  inter- 
ested, watchful,  experienced,  and  influential  friend  to  engineer 
it,  when  it  was  carried  through  so  rapidly  and  skilfully,  and 
so  near  the  end  of  the  session,  the  legislature  having  adjourned 
in  less  than  twelve  hours  after  it  was  reported  back  by  the 
Governor.  There  being  no  other  way  of  finding  out  who  this 
friend  was  than  from  the  journals  of  the  House  and  Senate, 
the  honor  must  be  attributed  to  Col.  E.  K.  Burt. 

Col.  Burt  was  auditor  of  State  at  the  breaking  out  of  the 
war.  He  gave  up  his  office,  raised  a  company,  and  tendered 
his  services  to  the  Confederate  Government.  For  his  gallant 
conduct  he  was  soon  promoted  to  the  colonelcy,  and  laid  down 
his  life  in  1862,  at  the  battle  of  Leesburg.  The  fortunes  of 
war  left  no  time  or  money  to  mai'k  the  graves  of  its  heroes. 
Miss  Cabaniss,  who  is  and  has  been  for  so  many  years  matron 
of  the  Institution,  was  an  intimate  friend  of  the  daughters  of 
this  good  man.  In  the  absence  of  the  tender,  loved  ones,  at  her 
own  expense,  she  marked  the  spot  where  he  was  laid,  and  from 
that  day  to  this  she  has,  unconscious  of  the  fact  that  he  was 
the  real  founder  of  the  Institution,  watched  over  the  tomb  of 
a  friend  whose  name  will  always  be  honored  by  the  deaf  of 
Mississijjpi.  It  behooves  Mississippians  to  honor  and  revere 
the  memory  of  such  a  friend  of  her  institutions,  such  a  distin- 
guished statesman  and  brave  soldier. 

Col.  Burt  did  not  and  could  not  have  dreamed  of  the  possi- 
bilities of  this  Institution,  and  he  certainly  legislated  wiser 
than  he  knew.  During  the  years  1890  and  1891  the  superin- 
tendent attempted  to  gather  the  statistics  as  to  occupations 
and  annual  earnings  of  those  who  had  gone  out  from  the  Insti- 
tution since  its  foundation. 

These  efforts  resulted  in  showing  that  out  of  about  three 
hundred  who  had  been  in  the  Institution,  returns  were  received 
from  only  sixty-two,  aggregating  twenty-two  different  employ- 
ments, annual  earnings  of  $13,158,  and  the  total  for  the  whole 
time,  $131,257.  Referring  to  this  matter,  the  superintendent 
says  in  his  report : 


The  Mississippi  Institution.  f 

With  two  exceptions,  these  have  all  left  the  Institution  since  the  war. 
The  buildings,  with  all  the  records,  were  burned  at  that  time,  and  there 
18  no  data  from  which  to  gather  the  facts  previous  to  that  period  I  have 
been  exceedingly  careful  to  prevent  an  exaggerated  showing  in  the  way 
of  annual  incomes.  From  these  facts  I  have  no  hesitancy  in  stating  that 
the  pupils  who  have  left  the  Institution  since  1871  are  now  producing 
annually  more  than  the  legislature  appropriates  for  the  maintenance  of 
the  Institution.  What  better  argument  can  be  presented  for  the  liberal 
support  of  this  branch  of  public  education  ?  Since  that  date  (1871)  about 
two  hundred  pupils  have  gone  out  into  the  world.  Some  of  th'^se  have 
died,  some  have  moved  and  cannot  now  be  located,  and  some  report  that 
they  are  making  a  living  ;"  many  of  the  young  ladies  have  married,  and 
while  they  are  not  working  for  wages,  they  are  filling  the  noble  missions 
of  wives  and  mothers,  and  reflecting  credit  upon  their  State  and  alma 
mater.  This  hst  is  being  constantly  increased,  for  there  is  not  a  year 
passes  but  some  intelligent  boys  and  girls,  who  have  been  receiving  the 
State  s  bounty  under  the  fostering  care  of  the  Institution,  decline  to  be 
further  assisted,  join  the  busy  throng,  and  take  their  places  as  good  citi- 
zens and  begin  to  bear  their  share  of  the  burdens  of  government. 

On  the  19fch  of  April  foUowmg  the  passage  of  this  bill 
Messrs.  W.  B.  Smart,  S.  Pool,  and  F.  C.  Jones,  trustees  of  the 
Institution  for  the  Blind,  organized  as  trustees  of  the  Institu- 
tion for  the  Education  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb.     Instead  of  en- 
larging the  buildings  of  the  Institution  for  the  Blind  as  was 
contemplated  in  the  act,  and  organizing  a  department  for  the 
deaf  and  dumb,  the  trustees  very  wisely  purchased  property 
and  established  an  independent  institution.     They  purchased 
the  property  on  Capitol  street,  opposite  the  Governor's  Man- 
sion, at  $9,000,  and  opened  the  Institution  for  the  reception 
of  pupils  August,  1854,  with  Mr.  John  H.  Gazlay,  a  deaf-mute 
and   a  graduate  of  the  New  York  Institution,  as  principal. 
The  salary  was  insufficient  and  Mr.  Gazlay  resigned  in  a  few 
months.     Mr.  Momf ort  was  then  employed ;  he  soon  resigned 
to  accept  a  more  lucrative  position.     The  school  was  closed 
about  the  first  of  November,  1855,  and  up  to  the  time  of  their 
first  report,  January,  1856,  the  trustees  were  unable  to  secure 
a  principal  on  account  of  not  being  able  to  pay  a  sufficient 
salary. 

In  March,  1856,  the  following  board  of  trustees  was  ap- 
pointed by  Gov.  John  J.  McRae :  Jo  Bell,  A.  B.  Cabaniss  W 
W.  Devine,  John  T.  Hull,  and  W.  H.  Brown.  It  appears  from 
the  report  made  by  this  board  January,  1857,  that  the  school 
was  closed  about  three  months  in  1856,  because  they  were 
unable  to  got  a  teacher.  The  records  do  not  show  at  what 
date   the   school   was   opened,   but  the  trustees  say:    "We

The  Mississippi  Institution. 


secured,  on  June  Ist  following,  Mr.  BUhh,  a  deaf-mute,  as  a 
teacher,  who  remained  about  two  mouths."  On  July  Ist  of 
the  same  year  they  employed  as  principal  Rev.  A.  Pomroy, 
and  Mrs.  Pomroy  as  matron.  Later  in  the  year  they  em- 
ployed Mr.  E.  E.  Bowes,  a  deaf-mute,  as  assistant  teacher. 
Mr.  Bowes  had  attended  both  the  Ohio  and  Indiana  Institu- 
tions as  a  pupil.  The  board  seems  anxious,  and  very  naturally, 
for  the  future  of  the  Institution,  for  they  say  in  this  report : 
*'  How  much  longer  this  Institution  is  to  exist  must  altogether 
depend  upon  the  action  of  the  present  legislature."  It  is  a 
pleasure  to  record  that  the  legislature  came  to  the  rescue.  In 
addition  to  the  annual  ajipropriation  of  $2,000  they  made  an 
increase  of  $6,000  a  year.  The  trustees  recommended  in  this 
report  that  the  property  then  owned  by  the  Institution  in  the 
city  be  exchanged  for  that  known  as  St.  Andrew's  College, 
about  one  mile  west  of  the  city.  This  suggestion  was  adopted 
by  the  legislature  and  the  exchange  was  made  that  year. 
Fifteen  pupils  were  received  during  the  year  1856  whose 
names  are  not  given  in  the  report.  Rev.  A.  Pomroy  made  the 
first  report  as  p'rincipal,  in  January,  1857.  Among  other 
things,  he  records  the  fact  that  Gen.  Jo  Bell,  president  of  the 
board,  handed  him  $5,  with  which,  being  increased  by  $2  from 
himself,  they  prepared  the  pupils  a  "  sumptuous  Christmas 
festival." 

The  future  of  the  Institution  now  seemed  bright,  indeed. 
With  handsome  and  commodious  buildings,  an  energetic  and 
active  principal,  the  legislature  having  provided  all  that  was 
asked,  the  trustees  naturally  hoped  for  large  prosperity. 
Whether  there  was  any  further  trouble  or  not  the  record  is 
silent ;  but  before  the  close  of  another  year  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Pomroy  quietly  drop  out  and  Mr.  A.  K.  Martin,  nephew  of  the 
distinguished  founder,  and  for  thirty-five  years  the  successful 
superintendent  of  the  Missouri  Institution  for  the  Education 
of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  appears  as  super mtendent.  Mr.  Mar- 
tin was  one  of  those  educated,  high-toned,  chivalrous.  Chris- 
tian Southern  gentlemen,  whose  wide  experience  and  liberal 
knowledge  in  the  management  and  education  of  the  deaf  ren- 
dered him  peculiarly  well  fitted  to  adorn  this  position. 

The  following  January  Mr.  Martin  makes  a  lengthy  report, 

in  which  the  Institution  a^jjiears  in  an  exceedingly  floui'ishing 

condition.     It  was  in  September  of  this  year,  1857-,  that  Mv- 

,  L.  W.  Saunders,  who  is  still  at  his  post,  was  first  appointed 


The  Mississippi  Institution.

teacher.     In  the  worck  of  Mr.   Martin,  Mr.  Saunders  was,  at 
that  time,  "a  promising  young  pupil,  who  has  by  his  zeal  and 
industry  made  such  advances  in  the  art  of  teaching  as  give 
good  promise  of  his  su(!cess.     He  is  also  indebted,  for  his  ap- 
pomtment,  to  his  genial  temper  and  good  moral  character." 
With  the  exception  of  the  years  the  Institution  was  closed  on 
account  of  the  war,  Mr.  Saunders  has  taught  continuously  in 
this  Institution  since  his  appointment  in  1857.     There  seems 
to  be  no  record  of  any  other  man  having  served  Mississippi, 
in  any  capacity,  for  so  many  consecutive  years.     This  history 
would  not  be  complete   without   a   special  mention   of   this 
^'promising  young  pupil"  who  has  grown  old  in  the  service 
of  the  Institution,  but  whose  energy  and  skill  are  yet  being 
vigorously  impressed  upon  the  deaf  of  his  native  State      It 
affords  the  compiler  of  this  history  great  pleasure  to  bear  this 
testimony. 

The  next  report  is  made  in  January,  1859,  with  thirty-four 
pupils  enrolled.  The  crisis  evidently  has  passed,  the  trustees 
think ;  Mr.  Martin  is  still  in  charge,  and  the  Institution  is  in 
a  highly  prosperous  condition. 

In  September,  1860,  Mr.  Martin  resigns  to  accept  a  similar 
position  in  the  Louisiana  Institution.  By  the  first  of  October 
the  board  had  secured  the  services  of  Mr.  A.  G.  Scott,  at  that 
time  principal  of  the  Tennessee  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb.  The  next  report  is  made  in  1861.  During  this  time 
the  number  of  pupils  had  increased  from  thirty-four  to  fifty- 
seven  and  everything  seems  to  have  prospered  accordingly. 
For  the  first  time  this  report  gives  a  list  of  the  officers  and 
teachers. 

A  new  era  is  dawning  upon  our  country.  About  this  time 
"rumors  of  unsuccessful  and  successful  wars  "  fill  the  air,  and 
the  dark  clouds  of  civil  strife  begin  to  settle  down  upon  this 
happy  and  prosperous  people.  Before  another  biennial  term 
had  passed,  the  iron  heel  of  War  was  on  the  neck  of  this  child 
of  State,  and  she  lay  trampled  in  the  dust.  The  buildings 
were  burned,  this  beautiful  and  happy  home  was  desolated, 
and  the  unfortunate  and  helpless  childi-en  were  left,  it  seemed, 
to  the  doom  of  darkness  and  ignorance.  It  will  not  be  out  of 
place  here  to  inject  the  following  extract  from  the  message  of 
Gov.  Pettus  sent  to  the  legislature,  Monday.  November  4 
1861:  ' 


10 


The  Mlssiatsippi  rnstitution. 


It  is  ray  piiiiiftil  duty  to  inform  you  that  Col.  E.  11.  Hurt,  auditor  of 
public  iictrountH,  fell  mortally  wounded  at  the  battle  of  LeesburK,  while 
gallantly  leading  a  regiment  of  MisHisHippi'H  l)rave  sons  to  one  of  the 
most  brilliant  victories  which  has  come  to  our  arms  during  the  war. 
These  are  limes  that  try  men's  souls. 

The  deaf  of  MisHiwaippi  can  never  cease  to  honor  the  State 
tor  what  it  has  done  for  them.  Inexorable  war  had  brought 
death  and  destruction  and  ahnoat  famine,  yet  amid  all  this 
desolation  the  representatives  of  the  people  did  not  forget 
the  deaf,  as  will  be  seen  from  the  following  section,  taken 
from  an  act  of  1862  and  1863  : 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  legMature  of  the  State  of  MmiHdppi,  That  the 
trustees  of  the  Mississippi  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  be  au- 
thorized and  hereby  empowered  to  place  the  deaf  and  dumb  orphans  in 
their  charge,  and  such  others  in  the  State  as  are  similarly  situated,  in 
some  suitable  institution  for  the  deaf  and  dumb  in  or  out  of  the  State 
until  the  trustees  of  the  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  properly 
fit  up  and  organize  the  same  for  the  reception  of  scholars. 

The  same  act  appropriated  $7,000  annually  to  enable  the 
trustees  to  carry  out  this  provision.  The  next  legislature  not 
only  provided  for  the  orphans,  but,  to  ufce  the  words  of  the 
act,  "  for  the  deaf-mutes  who  have  been  or  may  be  under  the 
pupilage  of  the  Institution  for  that  class." 

No  one  can  say  that  Mississippi  has  neglected  her  deaf 
children,  when,  amid  the  roar  of  the  cannon  and  while  the 
circling  smoke  of  battle  ascended  up  to  heaven  as  incense  from 
the  altar  upon  which  the  flower  of  her  manhood  has  been 
offered  a  willing  sacrifice,  she  takes  time  to  stop  and  provide 
for  their  wa  tits.  "What  an  incentive  to  the  deaf  to  become 
honorable  and  useful  citizens!  This  history  from  April  23, 
1862,  to  October  21,  1865,  can  best  be  told  by  the  following 
reports,  which  read  like  a  novel : 

Report  of  the  Joint  Standing  Committee  on  the  Deaf  anj  Dumb 

Institution. 

Mr.  President  :  The  Joint  Staudiu<,'  C'ommittee  on  the  Institution  for 
the  Deaf  and  Dumb  beg  leave  respectfully  to  report  that  they  have  en- 
deavored to  discharge  their  duty  in  the  best  Manner  they  coulil  with  the 
meagre  information  they  have  been  able  to  obtain.  We  have  not  visited 
the  grounds  on  which  the  builuings  once  stood,  because  we  dfcuied  it 
unnecessary,  having  learned  that  th-  •  were  all  destroyed  by  the  fortunes 
of  war. 

The  impoverished  condition  of  the  finances  of  the  State  preclude  the 
possibility  of  appropriations  being  made,  such  as  ••vill  be  re-inisito  for 
erecting  suitable  buildings  for  this  Institution,  except,  perhaps,  some

amftll  buildings  for  temporary  use,  und  which  niuy  hereafter  he  used  for 
workshops,  etc.,  by  the  Iimtitution,  as  iudiciited  by  the  board  of  trusteeH 
m  their  report  to  his  Ex.-oileney  Gov.  Humphreys,  which  i«  herewith 
flled  and  asked  to  be  made  a  part  of  this  n^port. 

We  woul.l  recouunend  that  the  atii.ual  appropriations  now  made  by  law 
to  this  Institution  bo  used  by  the  said  board  of  trustees  for  the  purpose 
of  boarding  and  tuition  of  the  indigent  deaf-mutes  until  sueh  time  as  the 
State  may  be  able  to  put  the  Institution  again  int.,  succesgful  operation 

In  examining  into  the  facts  as  presented  in  relation  to  the  burning  of 
the  building  by  the  Federal  forces,  and  the  general  destruction  of  the 
property  of  the  Institution,  we  find  nothing  to  allege  in  condemnation  of 
the  trustees  and  managers  of  the  Institution,  but,  on  the  contrary,  we 
verily  believe  they  did  the  best  they  could  under  the  circumstances.  The 
destructi.,n  of  the  property  is  a  calamity  much  to  be  deplored,  especially 
at  such  a  time  as  this,  when  the  treasury  of  the  State  is  empty  and  the 
people  of  the  State  unable  to  bear  the  weight  of  a  heavy  taxation. 

We  still  recommend  this  unfortunate  class  of  our  fellow-creatures  to  the 
fostering  care  of  the  State.  She  has  adopted  them,  and  through  weal  or 
woe,  riches  or  poverty,  she  ought  to  do  the  best  she  can  for  them.  And 
although  we  cannot  recommend  appropriations  at  the  present  crisis  of 
our  affairs  for  the  purpose  of  erecting  an  asylum  for  them  on  a  magnifl- 
cent  scale,  yet  we  would  not  have  you  for  a  moment  lose  sight  of  ths 
important  object  and  its  consummation  at  the  earliest  possible  time  con- 
sistent with  paramount  public  interest.

Report  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  Institute. 

Jackson,  October  21,  1865. 
To  His  Excellency  B.  G.  HuMrHUEYs, 

Governor  of  MisHsxippi  .• 
Having  received  from  you  a  note  enquiring  if  we  had  a  report  to  offer 
"-1  "iso  asking  us  for  any  suggestions  we  might  be  able  to  make  in  re- 
gard to  a  future  policy,  we  promptly  proceed  to  the  discharge  of  the  duty 
assigned  us.  ^ 

The  Institution  of  tlie  Deaf  and  Dumb  had  been,  under  its  former 
managers,  justly  a  matter  of  pride  to  the  State.  It  had  clearly  been 
conducted  to  a  success,  and  stood  a  proud  exemplification  of  the  gene- 
rosity of  the  State  and  the  energy  and  capacity  of  her  citizens.  In  this 
condition  war  found  this  benevolent  Institution. 

Soon  the  thunder  of  artillery  was  heard  in  our  l,ind  ;  battles  were 
fought  and  blood  flowed  as  a  great  river.  Our  mangled  soldiers  came 
pouring  into  our  city,  and  every  house  that  could  be  used  for  a  liospital 
was  demanded,  and  these  poor  God-stricken  creatures  were  turned  from 
their  eomfwrtublc  home  to  make  room  for  the  bleeding  soldier  This 
was  done  cheerfully  by  the  managers;  the  soldier  must  be  cared  for  and

GEO.   L.  I'OTTEU, 

W.  Q.  POINDEXTEK, 

2^ru»teen  of  Asi/liim  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb. 

The  proviHionH  made  in  ii  part  of  au  act  quotetl  above  con- 
tinued till  February  13,  18(5!).  Up  to  thin  date  the  IiiHtitution 
was  entirely  dependent  upon  the  whimH  of  the  legislature,  as 
that  body  could  hfeve  abolished  it  at  any  time.  Fortunately 
for  the  deaf,  when  the  constitution  of  Mississippi,  which  was 
adopted  in  1869,  was  drawn  up,  some  friend  was  thoughtful 
enough  to  secure  their  interest  by  the  enactment  of  the  fol- 
lowing clause,  viz : 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  le^dslature  to  provide  by  hiw  for  the  sup- 
port  of  institutions  for  the  education  of  the  deaf,  dumb,  and  l)lind. 

This  jirovision  was  re-enacted  in  the  constitution  of  1890 ; 
consequently  the  education  of  the  deaf  of  Mississippi  is  an 
assured  fact  until  this  part  of  her  organic  law  is  repealed. 

In  obedience  to  this  provision,  the  legislature  of  1871  re- 
organized and  rebuilt  the  Institution,  and  its  history  has  been 
one  of  continual  progress  from  that  day  to  this.  Under  the 
act  authorizing  the  rebuilding  of  the  Institution,  Gov.  Alcorn 
appointed  a  board  of  trustees,  which  proceeded  at  once  to  pur- 
chase grounds  and  l)uildings. 

After  visiting  various  sites  in  Jackson  and  other  cities,  the 
property  now  occupied,  and  at  that  time  owned  by  Mrs. 
Edward  Yerger,  and  some  adjoining,  was  secured  for  $2G,000 
in  State  warrants. 

The  board  met  July  8,  1871,  and  elected  Dr.  J.  L.  Carter,

Before  the  next  annual  report  wan  made,  Dr.  Carter  resigned,

time,  very  much  to  the  regret  of  all  interested  in  its  prosperity, 
he  tendered  his  resignation  and  removed  to  another  State." 
Dr.  M.  S.  Craft,  a  member  of  the  board  of  trustees,  was  put 
in  charge  of  the  Institution  during  the  interim.  On  the  16th 
of  November  following,  Mr.  Charles  H.  Talbot,  for  many  years

The  Mississippi  Institution. 


a  succesHful  teacher  in  the  Kentucky  lustitutioa,  was  appointed 
to  fill  this  vacancy. 

The  next  Decembei'  forty  pupils  were  reported  as  having 
been  received  during  the  year.  Mr.  Talbot  was  confronted 
with  a  large  deficit  hanging  over  the  Institution.  The  board 
asked  for  $12,38G  with  which  to  liquidate  this  debt  and  carry 
the  Institution  through  the  next  year.  It  appears  the  legisla- 
ture appropriated  only  $10,182,  but  by  the  careful  management 
and  judicious  purchases  of  Mi-.  Talbot  the  indebtedness  was 


J.    R.    DOBYNS,   M.    A. 


paid,  and  all  expenditures  for  the  year  were  met  and  a  balance 
was  reported  of  $700.  This  report  shows  forty-one  jjupils 
present.  In  1877  an  amendment  to  the  constitution  changes 
the  sessions  of  the  legislature  from  annual  to  biennial.  The 
next  report  appeared  in  1878,  and  seventy -one  pupils  had  been 
received  during  that  time.  In  the  summer  of  1878,  it  will  be 
remembered,  the  terrible  epidemic  of  yellow  fever  visited  this 
city,  and  the  school  was  not  opened  till  December.  This  is 
Mr.  Talbot's  last  report,  Decamber,  1879.  Before  another 
biennial  term  passed,  he  tendered  his  resignation,  to  take  effect 
March  1,  1881,  and  returned  to  his  native  State,  where  he  has

enjoyed  the  quiet  aud  comfort  of  an  elegant  country  home  and 
indulged  in  the  luxuriant  abundance  of  a  magnificent  Kentucky 
blue-grasB  farm.  Mr.  Talbot  was  a  Christian  man  of  great  force 
of  character  and  splendid  financial  abiUty,  and  was  successful 
in  carrying  the  Institution  through  the  most  trying  financial 
period  of  the  State's  history. 

On  January  10,  1881,  Mr.  J.  B.  Dobyns,  the  present  incum- 
bent, was  elected  to  succeed  Mr.  Talbot,  and  entered  upon  his 
duties  March  1  following. 

During  the  biennial  term  ending  December  31,  1881,  there 
were  received  ninety- two  pupils,  and  sixty  eight  reported  pres- 
ent at  that  time.  In  his  report  for  1880  and  1881,  the  super- 
intendent recommended  the  introduction  of  articulation  teach- 
ing, the  teaching  of  trades,  the  purchase  of  more  ground,  and 
the  erection  of  a  school  building,  and  provision  for  the  educa- 
tion of  colored  deaf,  all  of  which  recommendations  were  adopted 
by  the  board  and  provided  for  by  the  legislature.  The  printing 
office  was  opened,  and  on  April  1,  1882,  the  publication  of  the 
Deaf -Mute  Voice  was  begun,  which  has  cont.uued,  with  the 
exception  of  a  few  months  in  the  latter  part  of  1889  and  the 
beginning  of  1890.  The  teacliing  of  articulation  was  begun 
in  November,  1882,  by  Miss  Mossie  McGann,  whose  successful 
history  of  six  years'  teaching  in  this  Institution  and  whose 
untimely  death  in  1889  are  still  fresh  in  the  memory  of  the 
profession.  The  separate  department  for  colored  pupils  was 
opened  October  1,  1882,  and  has  continued  to  grow  during  the 
ten  years  of  its  existence. 

In  December,  1883,  an  epidemic  of  typhoid  fever  prevailed 
in  the  Institution,  and,  continuing  to  grow  more  and  more  seri- 
ous, the  school  was  dismissed  in  March,  1884.  Though  there 
were  many  cases  of  the  fever,  there  was  but  one  death.  The 
entu-e  history  of  the  Institution  records  only  six  deaths  among 
the  pupils  while  in  school.  There  were  under  instruction  in 
1882  and  1883  eighty  pupils,  with  seventy  nine  present  when 
the  report  for  those  years  was  made.  During  1884  and  1886 
there  were  enrolled  one  hundred  and  ten,  with  eighty  present 
December  31,  1885. 

About  this  time  the  De  I'Epee  Literary  Society  was  organ- 
ized for  the  pupils,  and  has  continued  its  regular  monthly 
meetings,  much  to  the  entertainment  and  profit  of  its  members. 
In  April,  1886,  the  Sixth  Conference  of  Principals  and  Super- 
intendents was  held  here,  which  became  an  important  part  of

the  history  of  this  Institution.  There  were  present  at  this 
Conference  representatives  from  twenty-four  States  and  two 
Provinces  of  Canada.  This  Conference  was  signaUzed  as  the 
"Gallaudet  Conference,"  in  which  was  celebrated  the  one 
hundredth  anniversary  of  the  birth  of  Thomas  Hopkins  Gal- 
laudet, the  founder  of  the  education  of  the  deaf  in  America.

The  enroUment  for  the  period  covered  by  the  report  made 
in  December,  1887,  was  ninety  for  188G  and  ninety-three  for 
1887,  with  seventy-six  jjresent  at  that  writing.  There  were 
received  in  1888  ninety-six,  and  in  1889  ninety-five,  with  eighty- 
four  present  at  the  close  of  that  year.  There  were  enrolled  in 
1890  one  hundred,  and  in  1891  ninety-five,  with  eighty-two

present  when  the  report  was  made.  There  were  received  in 
1892  ninety-one,  and  up  to  this  writing,  in  1893,  ninety-three 
have  been  admitted. 

This  Institution  is  supported  entirely  by  appropriations 
made  by  the  legislature  and  has  never  received  a  donation  or 
bequest. 

It  is  free  to  all  the  deaf  of  the  State  who  cannot  be  taught 
m  the  public  schools ;  the  age  of  admission  and  time  of  re- 
maming  under  instruction  have  been  very  wisely  left  to  the 
discretion  of  the  board  of  trustees.  The  course  of  study  is 
about  what  is  taught  in  the  public  schools  of  the  State,  and 
the  average  pupil  who  remains  nine  or  ten  sessions  is  well 
equipped  for  the  battle  of  life.  The  combined  system  is  the 
one  m  use.  It  is  the  constant  aim  of  the  management  to 
supplement  their  education  with  some  useful  trade,  so  that 
they  will  go  out  into  the  worid  producers  instead  of  consumers. 

Brief  as  this  history  is,  it  required  days  of  searching  among 
the  musty  records  of  state,  and  should  its  friends  find  any 
material  omissions  or  mistakes  it  is  hoped  they  will  attribute 
them  to  incomplete  records  and  the  limited  time  allowed  for 
its  jjreparation. 

Thus  ends  a  brief  account  of  the  record  made  by  this  Insti- 
tution, which  record  would,  undoubtedly,  make  an  important 
and  interesting  chapter  in  a  complete  history  of  Mississippi. 

Let  the  deaf  of  Mississippi  uncover  their  heads  and  lift  up 
their  hearts  in  gratitude  for  the  rivers  of  blessings  that  hava 
been  flowing  from  this  Institution  for  aU  these  years.
